Protect your garden

• Maintain hedges and fences to prevent unwanted visitors from entering your garden.
• Close your garden gate and lock it from the inside.
• Store bins and ladders carefully so they can’t be used as climbing aids.
• Store tools and equipment somewhere secure after use so they don’t get stolen or used to break into your home.
• Secure sheds and garages with suitable locks and consider fitting shed alarms and security lights.
• Disable lawn mowers and other large machinery when not in use and chain items together or to a solid anchor point.
• Security-mark valuable items – taking photographs and recording details such as serial numbers and identifying marks can also help to identify items if they get lost or stolen.
• Consider registering valuables on a property database such as www.immobilise.com
