9. PROTECT YOUR SHEDS AND OUTBUILDINGS FROM BURGLARY. Wherever possible, do not store valuable items in sheds. Always lock your shed and garage and fit a good quality padlock. Install a shed alarm. Shackle large items such as bicycles and lawn mowers together and, if possible, secure to a permanent fixture such as a cemented metal post. This will make it difficult for thieves to remove. Ladders and spades should also be attached to a secure fixture. These items are often used by thieves to gain access to properties. Do not leave unattended in gardens. Visibly mark all removable items such as lawnmowers, hedge trimmers and garden furniture with your postcode and house number. Alternatively, use an ultra violet marker or property marking system such as SmartWater. Replace ordinary screws on outbuilding doors with non-return screws. Make a note of make/model/serial number of tools and bicycles. Obscure the windows of your shed/garage to prevent thieves seeing what you have inside.
