house drapes open or closed while away?

Have a summer and winter place. We leave ours as they are leaving heat on low in summer place so interior pipes don't freeze. Turn water heaters off. Ask neighbors/ adult kids in area to call us if they think anything is awry. Maybe check with your local Police or Sheriff. They will have lots of info on the subject and may even provide extra attention to your place when you are away. Don't know of a guaranteed method to keep your property safe. Thought about alarms and/or video but that would just alert you after a robbery has taken place or in progress. I doubt police will arrive in time to prevent anything. We just keep up our homeowners premiums and hope for the best. Sorry this is probably no help to you.
