General Tips
• Get to know your neighbours • See if there is a neighbourhood watch group in your street. These groups watch out for each other and any suspicious activity in your street. • If you have an answer phone, don't record a message that suggests you're out or alone • Mark valuable property with serial numbers - ask us about our 'Micro Dot' serial number system. Take photos of the items, list their serial numbers and description • Leave valuable items away from obvious view through windows. • Install sensor lights • Instead of hiding keys around the outside of your home, give an extra key to a neighbour you trust • Never leave notes out for friends, relatives or tradespeople. Burglars can read too. • Get into the habit of always locking up and turning on your alarm system • Have an alarm system professionally installed and consider having it monitored by a reputable security company • Ensure your alarm is serviced annually and use it regularly so you can rely on it • If you have an alarm make sure it is monitored. This ensures there will always be an effective response - your alarm will not continue to sound and potentially be ignored. Holiday Preparation • Don't leave garden tools and ladders outside, left out they may be all a burglar needs to enter your home • Have your neighbours collect your mail and courier deliveries • Ask your neighbours to park their car in your driveway • Lights and a stereo set up on a timer give the appearance you are home Click the links below for more security tips:
