What to do when someone breaks into your vacant Flip Home?

[Trevor Baker]

We have completed our Flip home in the San Fernando valley area of Los Angeles and it's now for sale.  We discovered today that someone broke in last night.  It looks like they were hanging out there for a while, smoking cigarettes, using the bathroom, going through things.  They stole a few minor items.  We're afraid they might come back.  We called the police, but we're not high on their list of problems.  We're probably going to start sleeping there.  An alarm system is expensive for a short term use.

We don't need any squatters moving in!  Any advice or suggestions?

Simpli Safe alarms are great deterrents for the price, easy install, and you can move them to your next flip once you sell.
