Buy a caravan and stick it on the drive.

Don't go anywhere,  just spend a week on your drive, put up the swingball on your front lawn, walk to your local pub for a few beers. Job done.

..but don't tell anyone that you've popped to the pub..

And put the caravan on bricks so it cannot be towed away

When I read the heading thought it would be about leaving your car with some of those Gatwick Mafia Meet and Greet companies.
My car has come back damaged twice this year when left.

Re getting your place robbed, more likely to be word of mouth that you are going on holiday from colleagues, heard down the pub, family relations than information given out.

2) Do not use your own mobile phone number. That will also be logged on a database and can also be tracked to a specific address.

I always fake my own signature on bank cards and cheques. Always have done.

Sometimes I give a fake name when ordering in Starbucks.

Seems pointless, not like what you tell them corresponds with the name written on the drink at all.

I had to go out on Fleet Street at lunchtime and walked past a shop with some English and foreign papers outside in a stand which brought me back to when I was younger and we were on Holiday pre-smart/mobile phones.

I can remember waking up early on the Monday after a Swindon game and running to the nearest shop which supplied English papers to flick through and find out the weekend's result.

 Nowadays when abroad, I merely find a pub with wifi and follow on this or Twitter.

One of life's pleasures for me, when going on holiday is to ignore football etc, more difficult to do these days, but somehow  the point of a holiday is to get away from it all.

For some years it seemed all I had to do was go away and I'd come back to find we had a new manager.  Another favourite was going away mid March in 76, when we looked for all money, down, following a home defeat to Mansfield, and coming back in late April to discover we had in fact stayed up after winning 4 out of 5 or something.

This was my life throughout my early years in France. If I hadn't been sitting next to the World Service at 6pm on Saturday, I'd have to go down the station on Monday morning for a shifty flick through the back pages of whichever English Sunday paper was in. It was very frustrating, but the sense of anticipation as I opened the page was overwhelming.

I can remember the nervous anticipation of A. Not being caught flicking through the paper (I rarely would buy one) and B. finding out how we had done.
