Don’t Tell Your Driver Your House is Vacant
You might have seen in the news last week that an Uber driver has been accused of trying to rob a passenger’s home after dropping her off at the airport. It’s unfortunate that it happened (though fortunate that he got caught), but the lesson here is to never tell your driver that your house will be empty. If you live alone or will be traveling with housemates, it could even be worth pretending you’re saying goodbye to a fictional friend watching the house. Or have your taxi/Uber/limo driver pick you up in front of your neighbor’s house.

Good tip. Expand the idea with never having your address show on outside tags, use a business or other address. Also, be aware that when you park at the airport, it is easy for others to trace your license and then check your home.
