CITY, ST, SEP 10, 2015 – Londoners aren't new to urban criminal activity, however they might be making common mistakes when thinking they are secure. In order to help London residents out with this, Locked-out LockSmiths (www.lockedout-locksmiths.co.uk) has just published a new blog post authored by Brendan Connolly entitled 'What London Locksmiths Want to Tell you: Neglected Home Security Rules'.
The article discusses how homeowners still commit minor mistakes that unknowingly make them the very targets of the evil they want to avoid. One of the biggest being that of hidden keys.
“It’s convenient, because if you don’t want to deal with shuffling around for your keys in the middle of the night after some hearty drinks,” states Connolly. “Having a key under your mat is the next best thing, right? However, you should expect that this will actually be the very first thing a burglar will be looking for; after all, it’s also convenient for him to get in and out of your home without having to break anything.”
The article relates further that poorly installed deadbolts, visible valuables and security as well as easily accessible break in tools create further issues. Specifically, the article points out that 'burglars might study how often and how long you are turning your system on and off, and work their way inside through that. Jewellery left out in the open also is too tempting for many to resist, so unless you want to paint a giant bull’s-eye on your room, it’s best to keep your pearls out of sight.'
“Burglars like to travel light, and often can’t carry large tools like ladders with them to the homes they target,” states an Ideal Home Garden article dated January 18, 2012, by writer Alexandra Kerr. “Luckily for them, homeowners often leave these tools lying around lawns, driveways and side yards, ready and waiting to be used.”
