Homeowners make it easy for burglars
A new study has revealed shockingly lax home security standards among UK homeowners.
In a poll conducted by home insurance provider Zurich Insurance, 57 per cent of respondents confessed that they are periodically prone to basic security lapses.
Of these, 18 per cent admitted they had left windows open while they went out - while 12 per cent have left keys in locks.
In response to the findings, the home insurance provider has launched a new website called Breakinbritain.co.uk, featuring tips on making a home less vulnerable to burglary.
Mike Quinton, managing director for Direct & Partnerships at Zurich Insurance, said: "Breakinbritain.co.uk can really help people see how burglars might look at their property.
"We've also thrown in some hints and tips on how to keep their property safe. While you don't need to turn your house into a fortress, it is always important to take proper precautions and update your home security."
