Ensure your home is secure when away
- If you are going away on holiday, avoid advertising this on social media until you return home.
- Leave radios or lights on a timer to make your property appear occupied.
- Ask a trusted neighbour to keep an eye on your property or join a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme.
- Request your neighbour to empty the postbox and collect any deliveries for you.
- Cancel all regular deliveries, such as newspapers.
- Develop a habit of following a set procedure when locking up your home to ensure nothing is forgotten.
