Protecting your belongings
- Mark all your valuable property and electrical items with your postcode and house number using an ultra violet (UV) marker
- Keep a list of serial numbers for electrical items. This should be kept somewhere safe and passed to the police if the goods have been stolen.
- Register the serial numbers of your valuables FREE OF CHARGE with the Immobilise online database. Registration means that if your belongings are stolen, the police will be able to return them to you if they are recovered
- Photograph your jewellery, ornaments, paintings or any other items that cannot be security marked. For a modest charge, you can register photographs of your valuables on Immobilise
- Never leave car keys where a burglar could easily reach them – such as on a key hook by a door. Keep keys out of sight or locked in a cabinet
- If you’re going to be away from home, consider buying a small safe that is hidden and securely fixed, for storing cheque books, credit cards, passports, jewellery and any other valuable items
