Secure Home Before Vacationing
LANCASTER, Pa. -- While you're planning for a big family trip, a burglar may be making plans to spend a little time at your house while you're away.
"The main thing we want to do is have the house look lived in. We don't want it to look abandoned," Trooper Joe Reeves said.
