Looking After Your Keys

• Never have anything containing your name and address attached to your keys

• Never leave your keys under doormats, on string through the letterbox, under a stone, on top of a door or window frame etc. An opportunist thief may be watching

• Never leave doors or windows open when you go out. If you can get in, so can a burglar

• Always leave a spare set of keys with a trusted neighbour, friend or family member

• Try not to keep all your keys on one key ring

Car thieves are increasingly trying new methods of car crime. This means that they steal the keys to your car first. Burglars have been known to break into houses and offices just to steal car keys.

• Don’t leave car keys close to the front door where they can be seen

• NEVER leave your keys in your car – not even for a second. This is especially important when at a petrol station or when loading/unloading your car.

• Always lock your car when leaving it.
