"Spring is here! 🌻 As you get back into the garden, remember that most shed thefts are crimes of opportunity. Always lock away your lawnmowers and power tools after use. Consider marking your equipment with your postcode using a UV pen to deter thieves".

Defensive Planting: "Use nature as a deterrent. Planting prickly shrubs like Pyracantha or Holly under vulnerable windows creates a natural barrier against intruders"
