Most burglars target homes that they think will contain valuables and this generally means cash, electricals, and jewellery.
Here are a few tips on how to protect yourself and valuables:
1. Improve security, and ensure CCTV and alarms are working properly.
2. Use a timer switch for indoor lighting.
3. Keep your jewellery in a safe location, like safe deposit box, while not being used.
4. Register your jewellery on www.immobilise.com to help us identify your property if ever stolen.
Remember, a home that looks empty is far more likely to be targeted, so it’s worth making sure your home looks occupied.
