Enjoy peace of mind whilst on holiday – protect your home from burglars in Hampshire and west Berkshire
"Don’t let burglars ruin your holiday" warn local Basingstoke Keyholding and Security Guarding company, Basingstoke Keyholders
Burglaries are a priority for Hampshire Police but this is mainly reactive, dealing with the after effects of intruders attacking property.
Burglars are
mainly opportunistic thieves, but they do tend to scope out homes to try and
spot a weakness they can exploit.
A house
whose owner is away on holiday makes a tempting target, but there are ways of
protecting your home.
FIRSTLY,
don’t advertise your plans:
Refrain from
posting holiday snaps on Facebook until you get home, as these make it clear
your house is sitting empty.
In summer,
hire someone to mow the lawn and in winter, hire someone to shovel your
snow.
Don’t let
mail pile up. Either have the Post Office stop delivery, or have a neighbour
collect the mail every day.
Keep
curtains and blinds closed to prevent burglars peering through to assess target
items and routes, and use timers or Smart Apps to turn lights off and on at set
times.
SECONDLY, try
and hinder thieves.
For example,
patio door locks can prove flimsy and offer little protection against a
determined burglar, so try placing a sturdy brush handle in the track to stop
the door from sliding open. Padlock side gates. Check all windows are locked.
If you
normally keep a spare key hidden outside the home, bring it in before going on
holiday.
Keep the
outside lit as burglars do not like being seen. PIR-activated garden and
security lighting is very beneficial as a deterrent.
