The value of household belongings has nearly tripled since the year 2000. Meaning an average home may have contents valued at £141,000.
Grownup children are living at home longer (so more belongings), we have more tech, more designer clothes, more household accessories, more bikes, golf clubs etc and even more cars on the driveway too.
So, NEVER has the security of your home and its possessions been more important.
We all know the basics such as:
· Not to leave bikes or equipment outdoors
· Keeping front and back doors locked, even when you’re at home
· Don’t leave items such as laptops, smart phones etc by windows openly on display
· Ensure your car keys are kept out of sight and not near your front door
But with all that taken into consideration, how easy would it be for somebody to break into my home?
Well unlike Santa, thieves are not coming down your chimney (Santa only leaves gifts anyway, he doesn’t steal them), so realistically that leaves your doors or windows as the only entry point.
*Window and door security should be your NUMBER 1 consideration before anything else*
