[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 980789, member: 74121"] Dont know how they forced entry in your case, but keeping the largest garden tools indoors, or at the very least a very secure garage or shed is one step as these are handy way to force entry. Making sure your back doors and windows can be overlooked by at least one neighbour (fences and bushes not too high) is also pretty essential if you can't afford a legit house alarm and CCTV. The main things are to keep doors and windows locked in summer when the house is unattended. The other biggest thing these days is higher value cars. Those with fancy remote keys are begging to be stolen, so keep the key well away from the front door (where if can be remotely activated using a bit of kit) and dont leave your car unattended if defrosting it while idling. Theft of bikes is also pretty major, particularly in common stairs of flats. The only solution I have to that one is keep a dirt cheap bike that you arent financially and emotionally attached too!
