Shed and Garage Break In's

4th September 2026,

Morning, 

Just a reminder to please keep your shed, garage, and other outbuildings secure,

Many people don’t secure their shed or garage in the same way they do their homes - often using an easy-to-break lock or padlock to protect valuable contents such as a car, bike, or lawnmower.

An opportunistic burglar will try a shed or garage first because they can find the tools they need to break into the main house.

The top five most common items stolen from sheds/Garages are:

1.          Bikes

2.          Mowers

3.          Sports equipment

4.          Power tools

5.          Garden tools

Alarm your shed, no power supply consider battery operated shed alarm, remember to:

Lock it, hide it, and mark it.

Secure your bike and equipment within the shed /garage, use anchoring points and robust chains and locks,

Property mark your items, take photographs of them, you can register any item that has a serial number for FREE with https://www.immobilise.com
