1. 🧠 Outsmart Entry Points Before They Become Targets
Burglars often seek weaknesses, not high walls.
- Inspect from a thief’s perspective: weak window frames, loose handles, or dodgy shed latches
- Reinforce these with hidden window security stays or high-grade mortice locks on side doors
- Engage a pro to assess weak spots and recommend stealth solutions
2. 🎭 Camouflage Your Valuables Indoors
Your best defense is obscurity.
- Avoid leaving valuables, gadgets, or keys in plain sight behind unlocked doors or windows
- Use decoy storage: hollow‑book safes, unattractive drawers, etc.
- Store jewellery or important documents in hidden or discreet safes
3. 🕯️ Don’t Forget Non‑Lock Security Boosters
Strong locks are great—but layering is smarter:
- Motion‑activated lighting near entryways
- Decoy cameras (when paired with a real system)
- Window stickers for alarm systems, even if uninstalled
Small additions that deliver big impact.
4. 🤝 Build a Neighborhood Watch Mind‑Set
Strong communities deter crime.
- Talk with trusted neighbours about watching for unusual activities
- Treat your street like your living room—lock up, turn on lights, report suspicious vehicles
- Consider forming a community security chat or share CCTV alerts
5. 🧰 Test Your Home’s Defenses Regularly
Security is not “set and forget.”
- Do yearly checks before daylight savings changes
- Try opening your shed doors, garage doors, or pantries—to test vulnerabilities
