1. When you have bought your presents, make sure you keep them out of sight either until last thing on Christmas Eve and if you hide or store larger items such as bicycles in the shed or outbuildings, make sure they are very secure.
2. With additional valuable items in the house, check your insurance to make sure you are covered for the value of goods in your home.
3. Take the frame numbers of new cycles and the serial numbers of new electrical equipment for future reference.
4. Don’t leave empty boxes outside – they advertise that you have new goods inside, so dispose of packing carefully.
5. If you go out for the evening make it look like someone is at home by turning on lights and the radio. Don’t leave curtains open so people can see your decorations, as potential thieves can see in. Be extra careful about locking doors and windows.
