Five habits that put burglars off
Make it look occupied
Lights on timers and a car in the drive make opportunists move on. Most burglars want an empty house.
Lock up properly
A surprising share of break-ins involve an unlocked door or window. Double-lock every time you leave.
Show your security
A visible alarm and sensors in the window are the single biggest turn-off for an intruder casing your street.
Do not advertise online
Holiday posts tell burglars exactly when your home is empty. Share the photos when you are back.
Know the moment it happens
Instant phone alerts mean you can act in seconds, check the app, alert a neighbour and call the police.
Secure the side gate
Most intruders go around the back where they cannot be seen. Contacts on back doors close the gap.
