- Always secure outside doors, even when you're in.
- If you have a spy hole or security chain fitted to your front or back door make sure you use them when answering the door.
- If you suspect previous occupants have working keys to your property, change the locks for extra peace of mind.
- When answering the phone, simply say "hello". Don't give your name or number. If the caller claims to have the wrong number ask them to repeat the number required. Never give any information about yourself to a stranger and never say you are alone.
