Enlist the neighbours
Getting away from it all and de-stressing can quickly become very distressing if we return to a burgled home. Here’s our guide to avoiding having unwanted guests while you’re away this summer.
Burglars are opportunists who prey on empty homes, with around 60 per cent of burglaries occurring Monday to Friday when people are working. If you’re going away it’s important to make your house look lived in.
Beat the burglar: Ask a neighbour to draw the curtains in the evening and clear post from the door. If you’ve got a driveway ask them to park their car on it too.
