Bob The Burglar

Bob Turney is an ex-career burglar who spent 18 years on and off in and out of prison.

Breaking and entering used to be his full time occupation.
Today he's a reformed character, and works as a probation officer.
Bob knows just how to pick a house which has low level security.
When he worked as a burglar, he'd look out for signs of easy to break into property including:

single glazing,  NO ALARM OR SECURITY SYSTEM garden tools or wood, bricks and other objects lying around which can be used to force entry
weak and flimsy doors and windows
Bob the Burglar's top tips are simple - be sensible and security conscious. As the slogan says, 'Remove the Opportunity - Prevent the Burglary'.

Tell-Tale Signs
The burglar will case your property for tell-tale signs that you are away and evidence that he won't be disturbed in the course of his work.
If you can take measures that tell the burglar that this building is too difficult or risky a target, he will hopefully move on.

Holiday Security

Going away on holiday presents yet more risks for home owners so it's best to play safe.

Play safe - crack down on crime with an ALARM SYSTEM

It's common-sense but don't draw attention to the house being empty. Burglars look out for milk bottles on the doorstep, newspapers and mail in the letter box, unlit houses after dark and closed windows in very hot weather.
Make it look as though your house is occupied. You could install timers which switch lights on and off automatically.
Be a good neighbour. Check on each other's houses when you're away.
Collect your neighbour's post and even park your car on their drive when they're holidaying.

A Safe Bet
At the end of the day the best chance of cracking down on burglary is to take preventative action.
Anything that forces the burglar to take more time to commit the crime, make more noise or make him look more conspicuous while committing the crime is a good starting point.
In today's world everyone needs a security system, and then we can rest easy that we have less chance of being a victim of crime.
