In a recent conversation with my Grandmother, she was recalling how trusting society used to be. You could walk everywhere, or get rides from people who said they knew your family. Strangers would give a friendly smile, wave or “How do you do?” when passing in the park and it was not creepy to offer treats to the neighborhood kids running through backyards on summer nights.
Unfortunately, we now live in a time when you have to lock your doors constantly (not just when you leave town for vacation) and you can’t even leave your car running in your driveway or else it might be stolen. Certain areas have also been experiencing an increase in break-ins, especially in the Amherst, MA area.
Its very important to make sure that your doors and windows are locked, especially at night or when you aren’t home. Additionally, it is a good idea to make sure that you do not put the packaging from your high value Christmas and Hanukkah gifts out on the curb. You are basically helping wandering eyes take inventory of your new toys: your Wiis, flat screen TVs, computers, etc.
So while you’re enjoying the warmth and comfort of your home, it’s a good idea to prepare for the worst by making sure that your Amherst MA Home Insurance is up to date and providing you with the best coverage available.
