Crime: 11 November 2013  

1. Your teenagers, who have ordered these, will have them out of their boxes and plugged in, within seconds.  Our opportunist thieves are within this age bracket.  They will know about these launch dates and be looking for houses with possible teenage occupants, likely to have purchased one of these two pieces of expensive equipment.  Kids will not unplug them after playing and secure them somewhere.  They will be left out and the thieves will know this.
2. The BOXES.  These will be immediately recognisable to anyone that knows what they are.  Make sure that when the boxes are disposed of, or left around inside the house, they are not visible.  They must not just be thrown out in the recycling where they can be seen in the street !
3. Those that are purchased for Christmas presents must be hidden securely.  You will know that if you have kids in the house, they search every nook and cranny up till Christmas to see what they are getting.  As a result, parents hide these things in 2 places – the garage and the boot of the car.  Neither of these places are secure and we will see an increase in these areas being targeted, as we approach Christmas.  Consider carefully where you are going to hide expensive ‘crime attractors’.  It may be you can secure them somewhere at work ???
4. Don’t tell anyone, if you are buying one of these items !  Loose lips, sink ships.

3/11 – 10/11  Rushington Avenue.  Offenders climbed over a garden fence.  Cut the padlocks from 2 sheds which were searched – nothing stolen.  Repeat victim.

A BURGLARY THAT HAPPENED IN WINDSOR HAS SOME CRIME REDUCTION ASPECTS:
8/11  Friday  8.30 p.m. / 11.10 p.m.  Ruddlesway.  Burglary.  The owner left the house which was locked up and in darkness.  When they returned, they found the front door unlocked and the lights on in an upstairs bedroom.  There were no signs of forced entry, so possibly letterbox method used ?  Untidy search and an antique wooden truncheon stolen.  THE OWNER SAYS THEIR HOUSE WAS LEFT IN DARKNESS !
That should never happen.  Think timers on side lights and on a talk radio station.  Think about the fake TV for an upstairs front bedroom these are cheaply available from Amazon !
