Security Advice

In the current financial climate it is more important than ever to take extra care in keeping our homes secure. It is no suprise that rises in unemployment closely correlate with rises in crime, and in particular, rises in thefts. However, there are a few simple steps you can take to deter thieves and keep your homes and valubles safe. Here is a list of simple things you can do to keep the thieves out:

Always keep windows closed and secured when leaving the house. Sometimes, especially in summer, it is tempting to leave windows slightly ajar to keep the house aired. Unless you have special locking mechanisms on your windows that allow for secure airing, make sure you always close all the windows if you go out.
Don't leave valubles on display. If a thief sees an item of value in your home they are much more likely to go to the effort of breaking in. Try to keep items like jewelry and cash out of site and somewhere safe.
Don't ever leave spare keys hidden outside the house. Sometimes, for convenience, keys get left outside under plantpots or welcome mats etc. Thieves are well aware of this and will check around to see what they can find. Don't make it easy for them by leaving keys lying around.
Try not to leave packaging of new and valuable items out for burglars to see. If you've just spent hundreds of even thousands of pounds on that new plasma tv you been wanting, it would be tragic to have it stolen just because you advertised it to a thief. Keep packaging out of site.
If you go away for some time, it is a good idea if possible to fit timers to lights, and the tv or radio. This can be a big deterrant to burglars who think you are still home. Also remember to tell neighbours you are going away and ask them to keep an eye on the house for you.
Never let a stranger into the house unless you are happy with their identification.
Have a good look at your locks, and if you think they are not up to scratch fit new ones on doors, windows, security chains and door viewers.
Postcode all the property in your home with an ultra-violet pen or security liquid such as 'smartwater'.
