Not worth the Risk!
The act of forcefully taking expensive watches from people at knife point has unfortunately become more prevalent in recent times in London. These incidents not only result in the loss of valuable possessions but also leave victims traumatised and fearful for their safety and lives. The allure of expensive watches makes them a prime target for thieves seeking quick monetary gain. It is a sad reality that individuals are willing to resort to such violent measures to obtain these luxury items. We must raise awareness and enhance our own vigilance to prevent these violent acts from happening.

Burglary
The most common household burglary in London typically involves forced entry through doors or windows. Burglars often target homes that appear unoccupied or have easy access points. To improve security levels and reduce the risk of burglary, here are some recommendations:
- Install high-quality locks: Use deadbolt locks for doors and window locks that meet British Standards.
- Reinforce doors and windows: Install security bars or grilles on ground floor windows and reinforce doors with strike plates, hinge bolts, and door chains.
- Install a burglar alarm system: A burglar alarm system can deter burglars and alert you and the authorities in case of a break-in. Choose a system that is professionally monitored and has visible signage to deter potential intruders.
- Install security lighting: Outdoor lighting with motion sensors can help deter burglars by illuminating the surrounding area. Ensure that entrances, pathways, and vulnerable areas are well-lit.
- Be cautious with social media: Avoid posting about your vacation plans or extended absences on social media, as this can alert potential burglars to an empty home.
