1. 🚨 Spot Odd or Dangerous Items
Thieves or pranksters sometimes leave screwdrivers, broken glass, or stray screws near your home—either as tools or boobytraps. Be alert and remove any unfamiliar or potentially harmful items straight away.
2. 🛠️ Remove Tools & Loose Objects Promptly
Objects like spades, hammers, or ladders can be used by burglars to break in. When not in use, store these tools securely in a locked shed or garage. Keeping your yard tidy removes easy improvised weapons.
3. 👀 Watch for Suspicious Loiterers
Anyone hanging around your home without clear reason could be casing it. If you notice unfamiliar faces repeatedly near your property, stay safe and:
- Document the date, time, and description
- Inform trusted neighbours
- Contact local authorities or your neighbourhood watch
4. ✅ Turn Cleanup into a Routine
Make walk-around inspections part of your regular home care:
- Weekly check-ups of front/back gardens
- Remove any odd items or tools out of place
- Trim overgrown shrubs or tall grass that offer hiding spots
