Sneak in Thefts – What is it?

Sneak in theft is a surprisingly common problem. It is exactly as it sounds; a theft by someone sneaking in. This is usually through an open door or window.

Simple security steps can reduce your likelihood of falling victim of this crime.

Sneak in theft happens when a criminal takes the opportunity to take something left just inside a door or window. It’s an opportunistic crime and can be avoided with a few simple measures.

1 in 4 people leave their doors unlocked. Close and lock all doors when you’re at home as well as when you’re out. Avoid leaving the keys in the door or on the windowsill.

Make sure windows are locked. Don’t leave valuables in view through the windows.

Lock the door when you’re at home as well as when you’re out. Avoid leaving the keys in the door or on the windowsill.
