FACT: Medications are being stolen from homes for sale, during showing
appointments and during open houses.
Prescription pain medications, anti-anxiety and stimulant medications, and even over-the-counter cough and cold medications are targets.
HOW THEY DO IT: Typically a team (perhaps as a couple, a family, or as
friends) poses as prospective buyers. As one person keeps the Realtor busy with questions, others look for easily accessible prescription drugs to steal.
WHAT YOU CAN DO: Here are three easy steps you can take to prevent drug theft while your house is for sale:
1. Secure medications in the same way that you would a checkbook or
jewelry.
2. Place prescription drugs in a locked container and hide them in a
location that would take a significant amount of time to find, or
3. Take your medications with you.
