Close your windows and lock your doorsIt might seem obvious but a quarter of all burglars enter houses through the front door.
Light upThe most common time for a burglary is between 5pm and 11pm. During this time you should make sure your home is well lit. Use timed switches if you are not going to be at home.
Don’t update Social media, such as Facebook, about your plans.
Don’t AdvertiseKeep valuable possessions away from windows, or use blinds/curtains, to make sure a burglar isn't drawn to your home.
Sleep tightBurglaries can also occur while people are at home, so it's just as important to lock doors and windows while you're in the home and in bed.
Don’t keep spare keys outside instead ensure your neighbour has a spare setfor emergencies.
Alarm your homePhoneWatch customers are four times less likely to be the victim of an attempted burglary.
