"Your vacation should be a pleasant experience for you and your family.
returning to a home that has been burglarized is a very unpleasant homecoming.
Your time away can be more enjoyable and carefree when you know your home is being watched."

The City of Eugene "Seniors on Patrol" program offers a free home check service while you are away. You will need to complete the attached form and get it to the Eugene Police at least a week before the start of your vacation. However, if you cannot do that, the brochure has a few tips to minimize the chances of an unpleasant homecoming.
