Halloween is a festive holiday full of treats. Unfortunately, however, a few people plan tricks for October 31. This Halloween, keep your home safe and secure with these three tips.

Keep Your Home Safe and Secure

You don’t need to place someone on watch to keep your home safe. You should, however, be a little more vigilant than normal. There’s no reason to lose sleep over what might happen, but it’s smart to prepare for potential risks. Specifically, you may want to:

• leave your home’s outdoor lights on all night
• activate your home’s security system when you go to bed
• report any suspicious activity you see to the authorities

Keep Your Home Insured

Additionally, you may want to check your home insurance policy’s personal property coverage before Halloween. Personal property coverage is the portion of your home insurance policy that covers your belongings. In addition to your clothes and books, it may also cover outdoor furniture, a grill, or a basketball hoop if you have any of these things outside. As with all insurance coverage, whether these are included in your home insurance’s personal property coverage will depend on its terms and conditions.
