Hot weather offers opportunites to the burglars
Summer brings opportunities to the burglar. During the course of our work at CJ Locksmiths as an emergency call locksmiths service and door and window repair specialists we get called to a lot of burglaries.
It would surprise most people and when fitting locks we tell customers, that In a lot of cases the thieves do not even have to use force. Thieves get in through an open door or window.Over three quarters of burglars committing a crime gain entry through a door or window and in a lot of cases the doors and windows are left open, they simply walk in or climb through.
Contrary to popular belief a lot of burglaries take place between 9.00am and 3.00pm that's because most people are at work or out shopping or picking the children up from school. It can take less than 10 minutes to enter a house and leave with credit cards, keys and valuables. Once in the burglar will head for the master bedroom because most people don't hide their valuables, their in drawers or nightstands or jewellery boxes and burglars know this.
Most burglars are no longer after your household possessions, those days are gone, they are after high end car keys, passports and bank cards, passports and identity theft. Jewellery and gold items rate very highly to thieves because these are easy to sell for cash easy to steal and transport in pockets away from the crime.
You can make it a lot harder by installing a small safe to keep valuables in, bank cards passports etc , this although it can be opened with a lot of effort, takes time and creates noise, something the average burglar doesn't want to spend time doing and wont have the necessary tools to do it with them. Most burglars don't carry any comprehensive tools or equipment in case of being stopped and searched, if they do carry a tool it will usually only be a screwdriver or jemmy. Certainly not something they can break into a safe with.Hot weather means even more open windows and doors for the thieves. Be secure lock them.
