Burglary is not a victimless crime. It’s traumatic to lose valuable and personally important items from your home – and the emotional shock of having your property invaded can also be deeply upsetting. 

If you're a victim of burglary, Victim Support can help. They say: "Some people blame themselves if they forgot to secure a window or door, or if they were tricked by the burglar, but IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT"

According to Neighbourhood Watch, properties with the WIDE security combination Window locks, Indoor lights on a timer, Door double or deadlocks and External lights on a timer or sensor - are nearly 50 times more protected from burglary than those with no security.
