MADISON (WKOW) — The University of Wisconsin-Madison Police Department is offering tips to help protect property while residents are away for the holiday season.

They emphasize the importance of creating an inventory of important documents and expensive items before departure. You can take photos or record videos showing your valuable items, including your electronics. This documentation can be crucial in the event of theft or damage.

The department also advises keeping valuables locked up, unplugging non-essential electronics and appliances to minimize fire hazards, and double-checking that all doors and windows are secure.
