It is important you protect your home while you are away. Either going on vacation or moving before you home closes escrow, it is important that your home is secure. Twice over the past 30 days, specifically in Silverado Ranch I have had to contact Las Vegas Metropolitan Police because neighborhood kids have gained entry to vacant homes and made them into party houses.
When leaving your home, don't let it look empty. If you can leave a light on a timer that is perfect. Also making sure the home is 100% secure is also important. Not just doors being locked, make sure all your windows are locked as well. In both instances that I have seen, access was gained through unlocked windows.
Notify a responsible neighbor. Ask them to keep an eye on your home and notify you if they see anything suspicious while you are away. Even ask the neighbor to park in the driveway.
A few extra minutes of home prepardness will allow you to rest easier when you are away from your home.
