DON’T:
- Let strangers into your house
- Fall for special offers that seem too good to be true (they probably are!)
- Leave doors and windows open or unlocked when you can’t watch them
- Leave valuables visible to the casual observer – particularly keys and cash - in the house or the car
- Ever leave the car keys in the ignition of an unattended car – no matter how briefly
- Give your personal details to casual enquirers
DO:
- Be observant and aware – notice the odd, the strange or unusual
- Report what you notice to the police immediately
- Lock your cars if you are not in them or beside them
- Postcode, UV mark, photograph and record details of all your valuables
- Get to know who your neighbours are
- Look after their interests when they go away – push mail through the letterbox properly, put their bin out for collection (put something in it if its empty)
- Tell someone where you are going when you go out
