Home Safety Tips
Keep Your Home Safe!
Alarms
Leave a light on in a room and remember to draw the curtains when you go out at night.
Install security lights to illuminate the front porch and/or the garden.
Also bear in mind:
Mark important and expensive items with your postcode and house number using special security markers. Keep a record of the make, model and serial numbers of all electrical equipment.
Cancel newspapers, milk etc when you are on holiday.
Make sure callers to your home are genuine. ALWAYS ask for ID.
Keep shrubs, hedges and large plants cut back. They can provide a screen for thieves to work behind.
Buy home insurance. It's cheaper than paying out to replace any stolen possessions. Remember: if you don't lock your house, your insurance may not cover you.
