autumn

The clocks go back and the nights are drawing in, so remember...

  • thieves like an easy target - Make sure your bolts and locks on outbuildings are good enough to resist an opportunist thief
  • thieves prefer not to carry tools around - Keep garden tools locked away. Thieves often use tools found in gardens to break into homes
  • thieves don’t like to be seen - Check your outdoor lighting is in working order and covers vulnerable points of entry
  • when out and about at night, take extra care, avoid unlit alleyways if possible and keep property such as mobiles or iPods out of sight
