Many people don’t secure their shed or garage in the same way they do their homes - often using an easy-to-break lock or padlock to protect valuable contents such as a car, bike, or lawnmower. It’s worth having a good padlock on the door with no exposed screws. If you have windows, then these could be vulnerable unless they’re secured with wire mesh or grills. Keep your garage/shed locked at all times. Consider a battery-operated shed alarm. They look low key, but they respond to movement or door contact with an extremely loud siren. Don’t give thieves the opportunity or the tools to commit a crime. Lock everything away securely. Tools can be locked inside a locker or box or secured with a chain. Secure your bike to the ground or a lockable stand within a locked shed or garage. It’s always worth draping an old sheet or blanket over the top of mowers or bikes to keep them covered from view. Property mark your items and take photographs of them. Some tools can be painted with your name or postcode and forensic marking is also an option. You can also register any item that has a serial number with Immobilise - The National Property Register, for Phones, Gadgets, Bicycles & More... (immobilise.com).
