Safe and sound

Article Abstract:

In 1996, recorded domestic burglaries in England and Wales totalled 600,000. Home security can be improved by installing a burglar alarm, window locks, a mortice lock and cylinder rim on the front door, with a mortice sashlock and security bolts on the back door. Keep tools locked away, install external security lighting, and keep front borders low and rear borders high. Burglar alarms can cost between 100 pounds for a DIY one to over 1,000 pounds for an installed alarm.
