I’m actually borrowing my tip from something I saw on TV. Thieves look for an over-stuffed mail box as a sure sign that the homeowner is away. You can solve this problem by getting a “Hold Mail” card, either from your post office or at usps.com. Mail that accumulates while you are gone is held at the post office until the date you tell them to deliver it. Now you can be worry free when cruising.
