|
 Have interior & exterior lights on timers or make them motion activated Keep your garage and all doors locked with secure locks Cut your hedges so no one can hide on your property Don’t leave a spare key under your door mat, in your garden or anywhere else it can be easily found Make valuables difficult to find and out of sight from the street Install an alarm system to draw attention to break ins and deter criminals Install smoke and fire detection services |
Install car seats properly according to manufacturers instructions Teach children how to dial 911 in emergencies Teach your child not to talk to strangers & create a “secret password” for emergencies that only your child & people you trust know Keep dangerous items like knives & chemicals out of reach Teach children their name, address & phone number as soon as they are old enough Always supervise children in water, both the swimming pools & the bathtub |
Stay in well-lit, busy areas when outside Trust your instincts and avoid situations you feel uneasy about Do not let strangers into your home or car If you’re in a dangerous situation, try to draw attention to yourself & your attacker by making noise Refuse to provide personal information to strangers in person as well as on the phone or online Don’t advertise if you are moving or going on vacation on social media websites. This allows possible burglars or attackers to track your whereabouts |

What Criminals Steal
A Home Office research team in Britain conducted a burglary crime study to determine what criminals are most likely to steal. The results showed which items were most frequently taken from residential burglaries.
Purses, wallets and cash were stolen most often. In 46% percent of all burglaries, these were the items taken. The second most stolen items are electronics such as cameras, MP3 players and DVD players. Burglars stole these items 36% of the time.
Computers and computer equipment was the next most popular and the choice of 29% of burglars. Jewellery and cellular phones came next, having been stolen in 23% and 19% of robberies.
The study also showed when burglars chose to break into homes. 69% of burglaries and 70% of attempted burglaries took place during the week. Burglars struck in the morning or afternoon in 41% of cases and in the evening or overnight 59% of the time.
Most criminals look for an empty home and they do not want to be noticed when they strike. This is why most of their attacks happen during the week or after it’s dark. |
|
Excellent ways to stop burglars from robbing your home include installing motion-activated lights outside and placing security cameras in strategic locations.
This will show potential burglars that they will be noticed if they attempt to break into your home and cause them to think twice before attempting to do so.
