This Summer with Your Secure Locksmiths
The lighter nights and warmer weather is coming just around
the corner again leaving most of us more vulnerable to crime than we think
We do not need to be reminded that most burglars are opportunists
and do not care who they target and who they steal from.
Your Secure Locksmiths are on a burglary prevention
mission, we want to help you become safe…
Let us point out the statistics:
·
30% of opportunist burglars will walk straight
through an unlocked door
·
26% will go directly through an unlocked window
A common scenario is stolen car keys! Thieves will steal
your vehicle because it is of high value and it makes it worth their while. However,
without the vehicle keys todays cars cannot be stolen, so remember always keep
your car keys hidden or out of site, even in your home.
Expensive Gadgets
Never advertise your gadgets or allow them to be visible to
people walking by your property. All this does is create an opportunity, a
thief often walking through your front door grabbing the laptop that was left
on the living room table while you used the bathroom for 2 minutes.
Is it Locked?
’Lock it, Prove it’!
Often at the back of your mind there is a voice: Did I
lock the door? Did I lock the kitchen window? Have I left the Garage open?
Well did you?
If you did, the consequences could be costly! Hitting the
streets every day are ‘professional opportunists’ walking around your area with
a clip board knocking loudly hoping that no one answers the door and the
property is unoccupied.
Once the property is deemed unoccupied they will try your
door handle or check for open windows. If the burglar gets access to your property,
they will often be in and out in under 2 minutes with items that are
irreplaceable and invaluable.
‘Lock it, Prove
It’ - A tip from Your
Secure Locksmiths.
No doubt this summer’s thoughts will be the usual… it
won’t happen to me!
