• Don’t leave car keys, mobile phones, wallets or other valuables on window sills, in hallways or in any other visible place.
• Double-lock UPVC doors by lifting the handle and locking it to engage the security features.
• Use timer switches on lamps to give the impression someone is at home.
• Secure your rear garden: lock rear gates, securely lock sheds and garages, keep tools and ladders locked away as they could be used to break into your home.
