CRIME, AND YOU COULD FACE UP TO FIVE YEARS IN JAIL. WELL, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE HEADING OUT OF TOWN TO CELEBRATE THANKSGIVING. THAT MEANS MORE BURGLARS LOOKING FOR EMPTY HOMES TO TARGET. YEAH, SEVEN KEEPS YOU SAFE. PELOSI JOINS US LIVE IN ALBUQUERQUE WITH SOME WAYS TO PROTECT YOUR HOME WHILE YOURE AWAY. PEYTON. GOOD MORNING, TODD AND ROYALE. YESTERDAY WE TOLD YOU THAT ABOUT 6 MILLION AMERICANS IN THE MOUNTAIN AREA WILL BE TRAVELING FOR THANKSGIVING. THATS A LOT OF EMPTY HOMES. SO HERE ARE A FEW TIPS TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR HOME IS LESS OF A TARGET. BEFORE YOU STEP OUT THE FRONT DOOR. SO CEO OF THE INTERNATIONAL PROTECTIVE SERVICES SAYS YOURE GOING TO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE CAMERAS AND YOU HAVE AN ALARM SYSTEM. HE ALSO SAYS DONT POST YOUR TRIPS ON SOCIAL MEDIA. HE SAYS CRIMINALS ARE SCOURING THESE SITES TO SEE WHO IS AWAY, SO HOLD OFF ON POSTING ANY OF THOSE HOLIDAY PICS UNTIL YOU GET BACK HOME, HE SAYS ITS KEY TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR HOUSE LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE IS HOME. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE LIKE A CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY, OR ASK YOUR NEIGHBOR TO PARK THEIRS THERE AND THIS IS HIS NUMBER ONE TIP. TURN YOUR LIGHTS ON AT NIGHT. PEOPLE THINK THAT YOU KNOW THAT ITS EXPENSIVE TO DO THAT AN AVERAGE BURGLARY COST PEOPLE ABOUT $14,000. SO IF YOU FIGURE OUT WHAT YOUR LIGHT BILL IS, THATS A VERY SMALL FRACTION.

HE ALSO MENTIONS, WHILE ITS GREAT THAT NEIGHBORS CAN KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR ONE ANOTHER IF THEY SEE ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS OR HEAR AN ALARM, OR SEE ANYONE PEEKING INSIDE, THAT ITS BEST TO JUST CALL THE POLICE INSTEAD OF GETTING DIRECTLY INVOLVED.
