Bulletin 13 June 19th – July 2nd 2025
Some people deem 13 an unlucky number, so we are giving you some tips in Bulletin 13 on how you can keep your home and belongings safe and ensure you stay lucky, hopefully all year round. Lock windows and doors when leaving home, even for a short while. If you don’t and you get burgled, your home insurance could be invalidated because you left your home insecure. If you have windows open at any time of the day or night due to high temperatures, make sure your keys and valuables aren’t within sight or reach of those windows. How much do you share online? Think about how public your profile is before posting your holiday highlight reels when you’re away from home. How well do you know the people who follow you, and how much do you really want them to know? Up your security settings and enjoy a summer holiday social media detox.
Into your fitness? Did you also know that you could be unintentionally giving away your home address if you use fitness apps that share your location? Check your app’s privacy settings, some allow you to set up a privacy zone that conceals your home address. Doing a spot of DIY? Lock away ladders and tools after use so they can’t be stolen or used to break into your home. Are your tools marked? Make sure you mark them with your name using paint pens and then seal it with a clear lacquer spray. Good neighbours are worth their weight in gold. If you like and trust your neighbour, ask them to keep an eye on your home and pop round on a regular basis to water plants and take in deliveries and post. Even the smallest pieces of evidence can help build a bigger intelligence picture. If you have CCTV footage or images of suspicious behaviour that you think we should know about, submit it to be reviewed through our suspicious activity portal. Details are at the end of this Bulletin. And just for an extra tip, why not make sure your CCTV is charged and working, and perhaps give it a little clean?!
