<p>Yet another one of my silly little questions, but its much appreciated.</p>
<p>The room is yours. You lock it and leave.</p>
<p>The only things I wouldn’t leave over winter break would be valuables – computer, laptop, musical instruments, jewelry. I would also hide/put away your TV out of sight – under the bed in a box if you can.</p>
<p>If your room is broken into over break (unlikely! just 100% hypothetical) if they make off with your toaster, would that be as big a deal vs. your laptop?</p>
<p>you dont have to move out for winter break; what i did was i put my monitor back into its box and locked it in my spare suitcase (hard shell), and we couldnt do anything about the tv so we left it there. nothing happened though (break-ins are extremely unlikely), but better safe than sorry</p>
