Ensure your social media profiles are private, and do not share that you will be away on holidays, as thieves are cyber-aware and may target your property whilst you are away.
Please see the advice above to consider before you head off on your holidays.
Be sure you’re Christmas trips away from home aren’t ruined on your return by making your home as secure as possible.
– If you leave any cars in the driveway or on the street, be sure to safely secure keys away in non-obvious places. Or better yet, take them with you.
– If possible, have lights on timers or left on to look like someone is home.
– Make sure your property is secure, including gates and garages etc which may give criminals easy access to your home.
– Ask close friends and family to keep an eye on your property while you are away.
If you know your neighbours are visiting loved ones over the holidays, please look out for any suspicious activity and report it to the police immediately.
Where do you store your keys?
In your house near the door, on a hook, in a bowl near the door?
Make sure they are secured safely, out of sight and consider the security measures you have in place.

Where do you keep your keys? Near the door, on a hook, in a bowl near the door? Would they be easily accessible to thieves?
Consider the security measures you have in place and #DontMakeItEasyForthem.
Out of sight is best.
