As the air turns cooler and leaves drop from the trees, it’s important to keep a few important fall safety tips in mind.
- If you have an alarm system, use it
- Lights on timers in rooms that you would normally occupy
- A TV simulator (Fake TV) for the evenings
- A door bell you can monitor and answer remotely via your mobile phone
- During the day leave a radio on; boots outside the back door; a vacuum cleaner out with the lead going out of sight (not plugged in though); a newspaper over the arm of the chair with a drink on the table and a pair of spectacles; the list goes on.
Don’t leave garden tools out in the garden though or you may find the burglar uses them. Lock tools securely away in a secure shed or garage and use a shed alarm, some of which can be remotely monitored.
