What a Disaster When You’re Burgled

February 28th, 2010 by admin

A friend got burgled the other day.  Four men hurled a large rock through my friend’s patio window, in broad daylight.  What encourages such audacity from burglars? An easy question to answer: lack of security.  Burglars know that neighbourhood watch schemes aren’t really a threat to their criminal intent, so they feel like they can do what they like if they know nobody’s home. 

But one thing burglars hate - DIY CCTV kits - which are cropping up all over the place.  They’re already filming the criminals as they enter your plot, and the cameras are normally way out of reach for them.
