• Close and lock your doors and windows at all times.
• Hide all keys, including car keys, out of sight and away from the letterbox – remember a device could be used to hook keys through the letterbox.
• Fit an intruder alarm in a visible place and test it frequently.
• Consider installing security lights.
• Leave a radio or light on timer and draw the curtains when you go out at night to make your property look occupied.
