Guard Your Gold.

Guard Your Gold.

Dear Residents, 

The winter months might bring longer, darker nights, but they also usher in parties, festivals, and celebrations. Unfortunately, burglars can use this as an opportunity to go skulking through the darkness in search of gold. 

Family gold burglaries tend to go up at this time of year. To you, the gold jewellery passed down through the generations holds significant sentimental value, but the thieves only want it for the money they can make from it. 

Some tips to keep your jewellery safe: 

🔵 Lock jewellery and other high value items such as passports and cash away in a high-quality home safe securely bolted to the wall or floor. 

🔵 Where possible, store valuables away from your home in a safe deposit box at a bank. 

🔵 At home, don’t store items in the bedroom. This is often the first place a burglar will look. 

🔵 Keep an inventory of your items, including clear photographs and serial numbers. 

🔵 Register your items on Immobilise, the UK national property register.
