Default Scooby Owners beware

Just a warning, Scum broke into my garage and house last Monday night after Scooby keys which they got - only problem was both cars were in bits so they got two now usless sets of keys! Worrying aspect was that we were in bed at the time and slept through the whole thing ( How gutted am i ).
All in all it's a nightmare though as have had to replace locks / alarms etc ( at my own cost as in common with most of you i can't afford to loose Car ins NCB! ( and House ins apparently doesn't cover car keys even though they were nicked from house ). What i would say is Never Never use Norwich Union for your house Insurance as they will delay / wriggle out of anything they possibly can !

Fit some of these matey

SURE24 Limited - Sash Jammers

We had 3 attepted breakins & these stopped them each time. They actually had the door locks open & still could not get in.

2 on each door & total peace of mind for £8 per door.

1 at the top & 1 at the bottom - out of reach from the cat flap.

My cunning deterrent is that some of the houses on my road have more expensive cars in the drive (Jag, TVR, Merc etc) but their house is the same. Hopefully said scum would target them first!

Fit a good house alarm and try and make it as hard as possible to get in.

Its amazing how much people spend on car alarms, but not on house alarms.

Do not hide the car keys.
