Neighbours are useful people - not only can they collect mail while you're away but also in some neighbourhoods a watch is kept by the residents.
Letting your neighbours know when you're away or and returning the favour when they are is not only a good way to improve safety but also builds social capital - so they will care enough to check on anything untoward.
Here are the state websites for Neighbourhood Watches, but also check out your local newspaper or newsletter.
