Shed security message from the old bill

The police forces around the contry are giving their annual shedsafe notices, its mostly the same message, but worth keeping note of

There are a number of simple steps that can be taken to prevent shed crime:

• Make sure your shed or garage is sturdy. If not, make this a priority and improve the fabric of the building.



• Fit a quality lock on the door



• Make sure any windows are secured. Consider fitting a grille or bars to prevent access. Fit a blind or net curtains to stop would-be thieves from looking inside.



• Postcode all property such as cycles, lawnmowers, hedge trimmers and garden furniture by engraving, stamping or even painting. Visually marked property does have a deterrent effect upon the thief.

My favourite headline is "Prevent The Shedache of Becoming a Victim of Crime" from West Yorkshire.

Nothing on the North Wales police site, but an intresting story of a shed being torn down.
