• Always lock doors and windows, even if you’re just popping out.
• Use deadlocks or multi-point locks where possible.

• Leave a light on when you’re out, or use timer switches.
• Outside lighting with motion sensors is a strong deterrent.

• Don’t leave valuables in view of windows.
• Keep car keys and wallets away from doors and letterboxes.

• Lock gates and sheds.
• Use strong padlocks and consider an alarm for outbuildings.

• Use a door viewer or chain before opening the door.
• Be cautious of cold callers—ask for ID.

• Stay alert and report suspicious activity.
• Share info with neighbours—extra eyes help.

Upgrade Where You Can

• Consider CCTV or a smart doorbell.
• Fit an alarm system—visible boxes deter burglars.
