I see nothing about having mail held, and garbage collection and news papers stopped or lawn maintenance. Lack of doing these things lets the thieves know you are away. For extended stay you need to have someone check your home. Heard of a guy whose furnace malfunctioned and HVAC guy said it was the dirtiest house he had ever seen due to the soot.
Ew! They're drinking St. Louis' "bath" water. That's bad!
... and St Louis is drinking bath water from Ohio.
Nah, Minneapolis, perhaps. St. Louis is well upstream of the Ohio.
Don't forget to kiss the wife and kids goodbye.
Not to mention telling your neighbors you are going away. Worked with someo= ne several years ago whose house was emptied while they were away. The thie= ves put a Ryder truck in the driveway for two days, day three they came bac= k and broke in and took everything: furniture, jewelry, clothing, the coupl= es' classic (and very expensive) oboes and bassoons, the food in the 'fridg= e, even the cars in the driveway (they left spare keys on a hook in the kit= chen). The only thing they left was an empty frozen pizza box and the cooki= e sheet they'd heated the pizza on.
The neighbors never suspected a thing=97they told my coworker later "Oh, we= thought maybe you were moving to a smaller house since your kids had gradu= ated from school=85"
Better than drinking (or smoking, for that matter) St. Louis bath salts, eh= ?
Ever been to St. Louis?
