You don’t have to do a James Bond and
hide it in the toilet tank but maybe you could put it in a box
labeled papers in the attic or somewhere.
Remove all trinkets and costume jewelry from the top of your dresser
or necklaces hanging in the bedroom and put them at the back of one
of your dresser drawers.
Pick up any easily pocketable items from around the house and pack
them up. Do not just open the bureau drawer and put them in; kids
may open drawers without thinking.
I am not saying that people are dishonest, but things out of sight
are out of temptation.
If you have any valuable, breakable items or antiques and paintings,
I would have them packed up and stored before you start to show your
house.
Do not leave any spare keys, car or house, hanging on a peg or
shoved in the front of a drawer; put them at the back of your
underwear drawer☺.
Do not leave your purse, wallet, cell phone or keys sitting around;
put them somewhere safe.
Just don’t forget that you are inviting strangers into your house
and make sure you take sensible precautions.
Do not let more that two people, even from the same party, in the
house at the same time if you are alone as you can be too easily
distracted.
If there are more than two, politely ask them to wait on the patio
or put a couple of chairs on your front porch for just such an
occasion.
Explain nicely to them that you won’t be able to give them your full
attention and you would feel terrible if you didn’t give them the
same consideration you give others. |
