Always lock doors and windows, even when you are at home.

Remove keys from locks and keep them out of sight and away from doors and windows.

Keep valuable items out of sight from windows.

Consider installing a burglar alarm, CCTV, or video doorbell.

Make sure hedges and fences do not provide cover for intruders.

Mark and register valuable property where possible.
