After a spate of Shed and Outbuildings being broken into in the South Staffordshire area recently, we would like to remind you that these buildings are often targeted by thieves as an easy option as they hold valuable items that can be easily sold on i.e. items such as bikes, mowers, power tools, garden tools and sporting equipment such as golf clubs. Research has shown that the average shed contents are valued between £1,500 and £5,000, making sheds easy pickings if insecure.

Please have a look at the enclosed attachment which shows how shed security can be improved with a few simple measures and do not give thieves the opportunity of breaking into your shed to arm themselves with tools to allow them to also break into your house.
