Few thieves miss a gold platted opportunity to steal from you. Have you posted your plans on social media? Will your car be gone from your driveway on Sunday rather than at home?
Will your living room be dark? Will your home be a quiet oasis as the neighbor’s homes party around it?
Basic preventative measures (which take only minutes to complete) can work wonders to help you avoid power surges, broken pipes, home invasions and more.
Protecting your home while away for a day or longer is a very good idea.
Be careful what you say on your answering machine or voice mail too. Callers don't need to know that you're not home -- they just need to know that you can't come to the phone right now.
A simple, albeit crucial, way to gain peace of mind while you are away for the big game is to ask a friend or neighbor to keep an eye on your house while you're away. He or she should also have your contact information and a copy of your itinerary in case of emergencies.
Do you have more than one person visiting your house while you're away? If so, tell them about each other! If the watchful neighbor you asked to keep an eye on your abode calls the police on your elderly cat sitter, don't say we didn't warn you.
Murphy's Law for partiers: If anything can go wrong, it will go wrong while you're watching or celebrating -- which is arguably the worst time a household calamity can strike.
Before you leave for the party, you may decide to close your curtains to prevent people from peering inside your home to see whether you're there. However, closed curtains also stop those who aim to help -- the police, your neighbors or friends -- from seeing inside your house. So what's your best bet? Leave your curtains exactly as you usually keep them when you're home, since noticeable changes could hint that you're not around anymore. Perhaps leave your TV on and set to the game.
You may also want to contact your local neighborhood watch program if there's one in your area.
