Christmas Thefts

Good Afternoon Resident,

In the run up to Christmas people will be buying presents and placing them under the tree etc ,please consider how these are possibly viewed from outside your property to anybody passing by .Opportunist thieves will potentially walk around an area glancing into properties as they pass and taking note of what is on view and then watch for when people are leaving/returning to properties .Consider tilting blinds etc to obscure the view or partially close curtains to reduce how  much of the room is on view to anybody walking past or place a small table lamp or similar on a timer to come on at certain times of the day .
 

Thank you for your help!
