Many people think there is no need to take special
care over home security.
"I' m all right, I' m insured."
Maybe--if you're fully insured. Even then you can never recover the real value
you placeupon your possessions. But you can't insure against the upset and
unhappiness that we all feel ifour homes are seriously damaged by some
stranger, our windows and doors smashed, ourprecious possessions
ruined.
"It won't happen to me."
Won't
it? A home is broken into almost every minute of the day. Thefts of all
kinds,including cars and property stolen, happen twice as frequently.
"I' ve nothing worth stealing."
You may
think not. But in fact every one has something worth a thief's attention. And we
allhave things of special value to us even if they' re worth little or nothing
in cash terms.
"I' m only a tenant here."
The thief
doesn' t care whether you' re a tenant or an owner-occupier. You' re just as
likely tobe robbed. Have a word with the owner of the house if you think extra
locks and fastenings arenecessary.
"They' ll get in any way."
Most thieves
are always looking for easy jobs. They are soon discouraged by houses they can'
tget into quickly and easily. So it' s worth taking care.
This booklet will help you.
It's based
on the practical experience of police forces throughout the country. Most of
thesuggestions will cost you only a few minutes extra time and thought. A few
may involve someexpense, but this is small compared with the loss and
unhappiness you might otherwise suffer. Ifyou are in doubt, ask for free advice
from the Crime Prevention Officer at your local police station.
