Two crooks were being chased by sheriff's deputies in and out of traffic lanes at high speed near Baton Rouge.
The pair could not shake their pursuers, despite all their quick maneuvers. Not until they made a right turn down a one way street the cruiser behind rolled to a stop, the deputies inside laughing loudly.
Then came the crash a second later. The crooks rammed their getaway car head on into the gates of the Louisiana State Penitentiary, the largest maximum security prison in the United States.

Do burglars take vacations? They know you do! In fact, when you're away burglars can enter your home and search for hidden valuables - without much urgency to flee the scene. When you are on vacation it may be obvious to others that your home is vacant. Snow drifts in the driveway and a pile of mail at the door are some tell-tale signs. Security ONE decals, such as stickers on windows and lawn signs, act as a deterrent for any burglar. It is also helpful to create an illusion of everyday activity. Don't leave before you take some precautions! Follow this to-do list:

Of course I look familiar. I was here just last week cleaning your carpets, painting your shutters, or delivering your new refrigerator.
Hey, thanks for letting me use the bathroom when I was working in your yard last week. While I was in there, I unlatched the back window to make my return a little easier.
Yes, I really do look for newspapers piled up on the driveway. And I might leave a pizza flyer in your front door to see how long it takes you to remove it.
If it snows while you're out of town, get a neighbour to create car and foot tracks into the house. Fresh snow drifts in the driveway are a dead giveaway.
Sometimes, I carry a clipboard. Sometimes, I dress like a landscaper and carry a rake. I do my best to never, ever look like a crook. |

"As a new business owner I was concerned about security for my investment and upon looking into a couple different systems, I was immediately impressed with the technology and monitoring system offered by Security ONE. The salespeople were friendly, the price was fair, the installation was fast and convenient. The technician who installed the system was informative in helping me understand how the system worked and service has been excellent since. I would recommend Security ONE Alarm Systems to anyone that I know who is installing a home or business system."

| Tweeting Vacation Plans? Tweet with Caution Cont'd |
Social network sites, like Facebook and Twitter, allow you to easily connect with others. Friends, family, co-workers and acquaintances can get by-the-minute updates on your life. It is not uncommon for social media users to tweet and post everything happening in their daily lives, including their vacation plans.
However, it is advisable that you tweet and post with caution. Police are warning people not to post their holiday plans on Facebook and Twitter. In fact, it is advisable to be cautious about posting any plans. Would-be thieves are watching and waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. Posts like, "at Point Pelee" and "Weekend in Banff!" makes it all too easy for burglars to know when your home is vacant.
To Disclose or Not to Disclose
Do not disclose, directly or indirectly, that you are not at home, or that you will not be there for a certain time period. The potential risk of disclosing your whereabouts, or where-to's, is attracting thieves to your vacant home. It is not uncommon for a person to have one or even two thousand friends online. Revealing this information to this many people is potentially risky.
Such an incident occurred for an Indiana resident, who posted she would be at a concert for the night. Two of her Facebook "friends" acted on this opportunity and were later charged with burglary and theft.
Other Dangers
There are other less obvious dangers while playing in cyberspace. Geo-tagging is a capability on Twitter that allows a person to mark a photo, video or other media with a pin-point location. A person on vacation using geo-tagging is revealing their locale, and therefore that they are away from home.
And home is not too difficult to find. Queries such as Canada 411, Facebook photos showing your home, or domain name registrations all point a person in the right direction.
A Final Note
The times have changed, but the need to be cautious hasn't. As the internet becomes more associated with our lives, there is a greater need to protect ourselves. Check privacy settings online so that only friends can view your photos, information and social feeds. Do not post your address, legal name and birth date, not only on social network sites, but anywhere online.

| Vacation To-Do List Cont'd |
Do burglars take vacations? They know you do! In fact, when you're away burglars can enter your home and search for hidden valuables - without much urgency to flee the scene. When you are on vacation it may be obvious to others that your home is vacant. Snow drifts in the driveway and a pile of mail at the door are some tell-tale signs. Security ONE decals, such as stickers on windows and lawn signs, act as a deterrent for any burglar. It is also helpful to create an illusion of everyday activity. Don't leave before you take some precautions! Follow this to-do list:
Ask police to check your home and patrol your neighborhood more closely while you are away.
Stop mail and newspaper deliveries, or have a trusted neighbour collect them while you are away so that they do not accumulate. Also ask your neighbour to remove any advertising flyers that are deposited in your mailbox or around your door, driveway or lawn.
Secure all doors, windows, pet entrances and garage doors.
Transfer valuables to a safety deposit box.
Place timers on indoor lamps and appliances to illuminate your home at night, and set timers to turn on radios and televisions randomly during the day.
Check that no bulbs are burned out on your indoor lamps, outdoor lighting fixtures or low voltage lighting system.
Arrange to have your landscaping continue, or your driveways and walks shoveled.
Keep some shades and blinds up and curtains open to maintain a normal appearance.
Have a trusted friend check your home, inside and out, each day.
Remove messages from your telephone answering machine daily so that the "beep" is always short. Don't say in your message that you are on vacation.
