Garages and Sheds
Often full of expensive tools ideal for
breaking into the rest of the house and
often left un-locked.
Never leave a garage or garden shed unlocked,
especially if it has a connecting door to
the house. A thief could get in and work
on the inner door in privacy.
Fit shed and garage doors with strong
padlocks and make sure that they are
solid enough not to be kicked in.
Lock ladders inside the garage or shed
to stop a thief using them to reach inaccessible
windows. If there is no room inside, chain
or padlock
them horizontally to a sturdy bracket on
an outside wall.
Gates and Fences
Check for weak spots where a thief could
get in, a low or sagging fence, or a back
gate with a weak lock.
A thorny hedge along the boundary can act
as a deterrent. But make sure that the front
of the house is still visible to passers
by, so that a burglar can not work unseen.
