So you want to keep your home safe, but you don’t give too much thought to this. This can be a serious threat to your homes safety. You need to make sure that you close you blinds and keep at least one light on each night. Start taking home safety seriously.

Key Takeaways:

• Tell your neighbours when you will be away, where you will be going, and give them a contact number.
• Don’t leave your house in the dark at night. Put a lamp on a timer so it looks as though someone is home.
• It goes without saying that all windows, including those small high ones, should be closed, and doors locked.

“It has happened to many of us – we return home from holiday to find we’ve been burgled. And yes, while it can happen at any time, it is a more common problem over the summer. So before you head off for a break it pays to make sure you are not about to advertise your absence”
