Crime prevention advice
Garages and sheds are often full of expensive tools to steal or use to break into the house. Do not leave a garage or garden shed unlocked, especially if it has a connecting door to the house.
– Fit strong padlocks and hardware to shed and garage doors.
– Make sure that the doors are solid enough not to be kicked in.
– Fit locks or bars to windows.
– Lock ladders inside your garage or shed.
– Consider lockable steel boxes or anchor posts fitted to the floor to secure tools and equipment.
– Garden tools and machinery should be permanently marked with your postcode.
– Install a battery or mains-powered shed alarm, available from all good DIY stores at a reasonable price.
– For extra security, replace the screws in external hinges of your shed or garage side-door with ‘clutch-head’ screws (also known as ‘anti-tamper’ or ‘coffin’ screws).
Vehicle crime prevention tips
– Where possible, secure your car overnight in a garage.
– If you don’t have a garage, park in a well-lit area.
– Close all windows and lock your car.
– Don’t leave anything on display in your vehicle.
– Empty the vehicle of tools and equipment.
– Take all your personal possessions with you.
– Remove sat nav holders and visible sat nav ring marks from windscreens.
– Leave the glove box open to show there is nothing inside.
– Park vehicles in a way which prevents doors being opened e.g. alongside a wall.
