"Scarier Than Burglars"... The Top Concern for Single-Person Households Before Vacation

As the vacation season approaches, many people are likely making travel plans.

These days, the biggest concern when leaving home is not burglars, but the theft of packages left at the door.

Security firm S-1 conducted a survey of 7,500 of its service users.

Sixty percent of respondents said they have plans to leave their homes empty this summer for vacations or long-term trips.

In particular, single-person households cited "theft of packages at the doorstep" as their primary concern when leaving home, ranking it higher than the fear of "home break-ins."

Among women living alone, 51% said they are worried that delivery labels might reveal the fact that they live by themselves.

For single-person households living with pets, "worry about pets left behind" was the most common concern at 73%, with respondents also expressing anxiety over potential health issues or fire accidents.

The desire to check the status of their homes in real-time reached 84% for single-person households and 87% for multi-person households.
