HOW TO PROTECT YOUR HOME

Always lock your front door if you are back in garden.
Install a good quality lock and use a reputable locksmith.
Don’t leave your Wheelie bins, ladders and tools because intruders could use them to break in.
Don’t leave house keys along with car keys.
When you leave, ensure your home looks ‘lived in’. Give a false impression that someone is around always
Keep your windows, garden shed, garage is locked and secured.
Ask your neighbours to clear your mail box, report any suspicious behaviour and use your driveway occasionally.
Keep trees, lawn and shrubs trimmed so there is no place for burglars to hide.
Don’t put your valuables (laptops, mobile, jewellery) visible from the outside of your home, like on dresser, beside windows or kitchen table.
Always arm your security alarm whenever you leave your property.
A visible external siren is brilliant – if it gets spotted
Putting some protected security stickers on windows and yard signs is an extra display of security
Change all the locks and alarm codes when you move into a new house.
Keep your garage door closed and locked even when your car is not in the garage.
