Think like a burglar to keep your property safe. Is your home safe and protected against burglars?

These tips are a good place to start:

Fortress not flimsy - Always secure your doors and windows, even when you're at home. A locked entry point is the first line of defence against opportunistic thieves.

Beware the “friendly face" - if someone approaches your door unexpectedly, be cautious. Don't let a seemingly friendly conversation distract you.

Strength in numbers - Consider joining a Neighbourhood watch scheme. Your vigilance deters criminals and fosters a sense of security for everyone.

See and be seen - Invest in visible deterrents like security lights, burglar alarms, and CCTV/Ring door bell camera. A well-lit property and the presence of security measures can discourage burglars from even attempting a break in.
