Protecting your home – things to consider:
- Make sure you know your neighbours & exchange contact details
- Touch base with elderly or non-residential neighbours
- Ensure bins are brought in on a Tuesday morning (leaving these out is a clear signal that you’re not at home)
- Install motion sensor lights around your home
- Install security cameras
- Lock side entrances if possible
- Lock your car & avoid leaving valuables in view. Modern keyless cars (when at home store key remote in a tin box)
- Touch base with elderly or non-residential neighbours
