Security, particularly home security has not always been the issue it is today – we have all heard our parents /grandparents tell us that back in their day everyone left their doors open and very rarely did anyone ever get burgled that was back in the 1960’s and beyond – fast forward sixty years and how times have changed. The first thing most of us do we enter our property is to make sure the door is securely locked behind us – that is assuming that we had of course already unlocked it to gain entry. The question “How many times a day do you open and lock your door” which seemed irrelevan ..read more

The discovery that your valuables have been stolen is not one of life’s more pleasant experiences particularly when the reporting of the crime and trying to retrieve the items is likely to prove an impossible task. If you are the unfortunate victim what do you think the odds of seeing the Police return your valuables actually are –a number of recent surveys put this figure at under a 20% (some as low as 5-10%) chance of seeing your treasured possessions again. We are actually more likely to see reports of overstretched Police not having the time to even investigate burglaries rather than repor ..read more
