Is Your Home Really Secure? 7 Common Mistakes People Make
Most intruders aren’t master criminals – they look for easy wins. Here are the mistakes that make you an easy target:
Leaving windows open – even upstairs and especially patio doors around the back
Hiding spare keys – under the doormat, or a rock
No visible security – signage, stickers etc. are deterrents in themselves
Poor outdoor lighting – dark areas where opportunists can hide
Advertising holidays on social media – never post details of your holiday before or during, save the photos and updates for your return.
Weak or outdated locks.
Forgetting the garage or shed – criminals love them.
Fix these, and you’re already ahead of most people.
