4. Remember to make your home look and sound occupied, use timers for lights and radios.
5. Don't make a gift of your property - don't leave anything on view in vehicles or at home for thieves to steal and remember not to show thieves what you have bought by leaving the empty boxes by the bin for all to see.
6. Remember to shred bank statements etc.
