Burglary - Summertime! (14th June 2010)
Now we are well into the summer months, we are more likely to leave our windows and doors open in our vehicles and homes. This makes us all vulnerable to theft.
Ensure you are vigilant by:
Locking all doors and remove the key;
Locking all doors and windows when working in the garden or garage;
Invest in a security chain or fix an alarm on the door;
Never leave keys in the locks of doors or windows;
Never leave house or car keys on display where they can be hooked with a fishing type device;
Avoid leaving valuables near windows.
Remember - Insurance companies may not pay out compensation if entry to your home has been gained through an unlocked door or window.
Theft From Motor Vehicles.
Many of the instances we suffer can be easily avoided by people not leaving valuables on display in their car. If it is necessary to leave items in your car then put them in a locked boot. Likewise, work vans should not have tools stored in them overnight.
Satellite navigation devices are particularly prone to being stolen and should be removed from the vehicle. Things that give away the fact there may be one in a vehicle are: the cradle being left out on display, the sucker mark from a removed cradle being visible on the windscreen, a bluetooth enabled device communicating with a potential thief.
Similar issues arise with radios and CD players. If they are detachable then remove them from temptation.
Remember, it will still be upsetting and inconvenient if your car is broken into and searched, even if nothing is stolen. So remove the temptation for your vehicle to be targeted in the first place.
