Burglars often look for quick and easy opportunities, but simple steps can help you protect your home. Here are seven important facts from the Metropolitan Police: Burglars look for homes they believe contain valuables. Leaving packaging from expensive items outside can draw their attention. Open or easy‑to‑force doors and windows make a home more vulnerable. Burglars will exploit any insecure entry point. They know when homes are usually empty, such as during the school run or holidays. Burglars don’t want to be seen or heard. If they feel visible to neighbours or passers‑by, they are more likely to move on. Some burglars break in to take a specific vehicle, bicycle, or motorcycle, knowing the keys are likely stored inside. Sheds and garages can be weak points. They often contain tools that burglars can use to get into the main property. Burglars sometimes return to homes they’ve previously targeted if no security upgrades were made, and may also revisit nearby properties spotted during earlier break‑ins.
