Neighbourhood Watch. Neighbours that look
out for each others property are a great
deterrent.

windows is often the starting point for a
burglary.

6. Don't share your holiday plans online:
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Linkedin are
potentially havens for people to see what you
are doing and finding out that your home is
unattended

leave spare keys in "unusual places under door
mats, under pot plants”

security camera - don't let people you don't
know access to your house.

possible.
