(2) Never leave wallets, purses, keys or other valuables on show. This includes the house as well as the car. What a thief can’t see, he won’t know you have.
(3) Don’t leave house or car keys on a hook in the kitchen or on a hall table. With more and more vehicles now having immobilisers the hooks in the kitchen and the dish on the hall table are the first place a thief will look for your keys.
(5) Don’t leave tools around the garden. Lock them away in the garage or shed. Why arm the thief with the tools he or she needs to break into your own home.
(6) Ipods, Walkmans and mobile phones are great gadgets. However at night they light up like Christmas trees and signal to the thief what a valuable piece of loot you have.

(10) Never leave your car unlocked, even when you go to pay for your petrol. Never leave the keys in the car or leave the car running unattended on the drive whilst it defrosts in the winter, or if you have to nip in the house to fetch something that you have forgotten.
