There has been a few shed breaks in the area over the last few days.
Please read the ideas/tips below which may help the security of your shed or garage.
Ensure that the buildings are in good condition and look to improve security by:-
Fixing a mesh or bars on the inside of windows.
Fitting good locks to the door. Padlocks should be at least 6cm/2" wide and made of hardened steel.
Fittings should be bolted through the door and reinforced at the back with a steel plate or washers. Hasps should have concealed screws.
Fit additional locks to up & over garage doors.
Consider an alarm, they can be bought cheaply from any DIY store.
Secure all items that could easily be removed.
Security mark property such as lawn mowers, strimmers, chain saws etc. Don't mess around with a UV pen, use a permanent marker pen or better still paint to put your post code or name on the items. The more it stands out the better.
Take photographs of any valuable garden ornaments. If they are stolen it will be easier to identify if found.
Ensure bikes are security marked and secured.
All of the above is easily done and may deter any thief.
