Just to add, it's a good idea to get a trustworthy neighbour to check each day whilst you are away,to make sure there are no letters or papers sticking out of your letter-box. This is such an obvious indicator to the fact that the property is empty.
Also, if you are happy,give them a key allowing them to come in and gather up your mail, and keeping it away the door.
We also have a shared driveway and when our neighbours are away, we straddle our cars across both so potential burglars don't know who's in and who's out. They do the same for us.
Lastly. don't advertise what you've bought recently by leaving out say a TV box or something like that. Where we used to live, a neighbour was broken into, lots of stuff stolen and when they replaced everything that the insurance had paid out for, they put the boxes out for collection and within a month, the very same thing happened again.
