• Lock your doors and windows even when you are at home

• Lock security screens on doors EVEN when you are home and remove the key (place the key away from the door)    

• Set your alarm whenever you leave if you have one (consider installation of one)

• Lock your roller doors, sheds and outbuildings

• If going out at night, leave a light on inside the house

• Leave a radio or stereo on quietly (it can sound like someone is home)

• Place Neighbourhood Watch stickers on windows, metre boxes, wheelie bins to show that you are proactive

• Place a padlock on your metre box

• Consider installing external security lighting

• Ensure gates are locked, and fences are secure
