With the weather on the up and Summer fast approaching we know many of you will be itching to get out into your garden and allotments- here are some tips to help keep your property safe: 

* Mark any property of monetary or sentimental value (photograph where possible) and consider registering with immobilise.com

* Ensure all sheds and outbuildings have good quality locks. 

* Consider if CCTV is something you may want to invest in - there are some great cameras available these days that won't break the bank. 

Additionally, if you attend Car boot sales and see quality tools for sale at a price too good to be true- it probably is!
