Please keep your shed, garage, and other outbuildings secure,
Many people don’t secure their shed or garage in the same way they do their homes - often using an easy-to-break lock or padlock to protect valuable contents such as a car, bike, or lawnmower.
An opportunistic burglar will try a shed or garage first because they can find the tools they need to break into the main house.
The top five most common items stolen from sheds/Garages are:
1. Bikes
2. Mowers
3. Sports equipment
4. Power tools
5. Garden tools
Alarm your shed, no power supply consider battery operated shed alarm, remember to:
Lock it, hide it, and mark it.
Secure your bike and equipment within the shed /garage, use anchoring points and robust chains and locks,
Property mark your items, take photographs of them, you can register any item that has a serial number for FREE with https://orlo.uk/03FYX
