Don’t hide spare Keys out.

Don’t leave keys outside for people to use them. This is a huge no no.

This will eliminate any intruders from getting their hands on your keys.

Don’t let thieves spoil your summer! Our top tips to protect your property this summer.

At last it looks as though the temperatures are beginning to rise as the summer months approach. But are you aware that, unfortunately, this is also the time of year when thefts from homes and gardens reach a peak?

During the good weather we all like to spend time in our gardens and for many of us a summer vacation beckons.

Here are some simple tips which will help you to protect your property and will ensure that your summer is not ruined by an opportunistic thief.

STAYING AT HOME?

Garden Furniture, B-B-Q Equipment, Children’s Toys Etc.

It may be tempting to leave property that we use in the garden unsecured overnight but it really is desirable that all such items are cleared from the garden and, if possible, locked away out of sight of prying eyes.
Windows and Doors.

It always makes sense to keep windows and doors firmly closed and locked whenever practical. Even when you are in your garden you should secure your home to prevent a sneak thief gaining entry.

And during the night make sure that the windows of all unoccupied rooms are properly closed and secured.

GOING AWAY?

When leaving home on a summer vacation, or even for a weekend away, it is essential that you give serious attention to the matter of keeping your property as safe from thieves as possible.

Put Lights on Timers.

Improve security by fitting Timers to the lights in your main living rooms. Set them so that the impression is given that your home is still occupied.
Adjust Blinds and Curtains.

Wherever possible leave blinds and/or curtains in their normal positions, taking care not to leave valuable possessions visible to prying eyes.

Secure Valuables.

Protect important documents, jewellery etc by placing them in a home safe or safe deposit box.

“Hidden” Keys.

Remove all keys from their supposedly “secret” outdoor locations. If possible provide a friend or neighbour with a duplicate key.
Disconnect Your Computer.

Switch off your computer/laptop and disconnect it from the Internet; particularly if it contains personal information.

Don’t Advertise Your Absence!

A burglar may be tipped off to your absence from home by the ringing of an unanswered telephone. So turn off the “Ringer” and keep your Answering Machine in play.

NEVER leave a message on a Facebook or Twitter page informing people that you are on holiday.

Remember to cancel the milk and/or the newspapers. Ask a neighbour to make sure that no mail is left protruding from your letter-box.

Tell The Police!

If you are going to be away from your home for more than a few days then notify your local Police station of your plans. If possible leave your contact details with them.

Set The Alarm.

Make sure that, if fitted, your Home Alarm System is activated. Make sure your contact numbers in your telecommunicating alarms are up to date. All our telecommunicating alarms will call three to four numbers of your choice, mobile or landline, directly if there is a break in attempt, without costing you on any monthly fees or monitoring charges.

It would help to have at least one number is for a friend or family member if you are travelling abroad, or make sure roaming is enabled in your phone travelling abroad.
