Advice

When you leave your property empty for a night or longer, consider the following:

- Cancel milk/newspaper/organic box delivery scheme. Mounting newspapers, etc are a sure give away sign that the property is empty.

- Use timers on some lights around the house. Make sure that the lights don't give away that the property is empty.

- Don't close the curtains as closed curtains during the day are a sure give away to burglars.

- Make sure that windows and doors are closed and locked.

- If your neighbour is away then collect their mail for them and consider parking your car in their drive (just make sure you have permission).

- Make sure that windows and doors are closed and locked.

.

Other Individual Actions to consider:

- It is useful to have a phone in the main bedroom so you can quickly alert police if someone is breaking in.

- If a burglar enters your property - avoid confrontation unless you feel your family is in danger. Just phone the police and perhaps make enough noise to let the burglar know you are awake and aware off their presence. {ALL IN ALL - USE YOUR BEST JUDGEMENT]

- Check that windows and doors are closed and locked each night before you go to bed and each day before you leave the property.
