Forgetful Brits 'jeopardise home security''
Forgetfulness on the part of homeowners is undoing attempts to make homes more secure from theft, a new survey has discovered.
In a poll of almost 2,000 people conducted by Newcastle Building Society, it was found that many are not taking basic security precautions.
Some 26 per cent left the house without locking the windows, while 11 per cent had done the same with the front door.
Meanwhile, 17 per cent confessed to leaving the house without setting the burglar alarm and 28 per cent had left valuable possessions on display to potential thieves.
Steven Marks, lending executive at Newcastle Building Society, commented: "It stands to reason that leaving your home without locking the doors or setting the alarm creates a risk for burglary but it can also affect your home contents cover should you come to claim.
"If people really want to feel the benefits of their home contents cover they shouldn't leave their home at risk even if it just to pop to the shops!"
