I have quoted the following text as for my final outcome im interested the idea of the curtain veiling the goods we hold regardless of if they are of any value in terms of money but the treasures we keep.
Think your home is secure? With Britain suffering the highest burglary rates in Europe, burglars say "you're making life easy". Thieves boast that they can get in no matter what security measures are in place. Inventive ones are prepared to remove doors and poison dogs to get in.
A new in-depth study amongst a group of convicted British burglars, on behalf of Halifax Home Insurance and conducted by leading criminologist Professor Martin Gill, helps to illustrate why Britain has become Europe's burglary capital.The report, entitled The Modus Operandi of a Thief, is the culmination of a number of one-to-one interviews with British burglars and a tour of three notorious burglary hotspots in Nottingham, Bedford and the West Midlands. Burglars were at pains to point out where and how security shy Britons are leaving their homes wide open to burglars.
- Even the security lighting can be used to help thieves see inside an unlit home. Others will pose as a bogus caller to gain entry, wear disguises to avoid CCTV camera detection and even poison meat to silence noisy animals.
- Burglars generally prefer empty properties, often looking for visual clues.
- Ironically a common tactic employed by homeowners to make the house look occupied, leaving the curtains closed, actually encourages burglars who believe it indicates the occupants are on holiday.
- Burglars are attracted by the sight of valuables, including car keys. They spot these by simply looking through windows and doors. Householders need to be careful about the type of goods that are on display. Blinds can help to obscure vision.
