Most break-ins aren’t carefully planned, they happen when someone spots an easy opportunity.
We’ve all left garden tools or bikes out after a long day … understandable, but risky. Opportunistic criminals are on the lookout for quick, easy grabs, and power tools, garden gear, or kids’ bikes make perfect targets.
The good news? Preventing this type of crime comes down to practical daily habits and using your existing security tools wisely. Start by adopting these three simple habits to make your home less appealing to opportunists:
- Gas bottles are chained or enclosed, especially those used for outdoor kitchens or heating.
- Bins and crates are not stacked near walls or fences, which can act as makeshift ladders.
- Overgrown plants are trimmed back to improve visibility and eliminate hiding spots.
