Basic Security

This week I have been to a job where the home owner was locked out. Their partner had locked the door and posted the key through the letter box. Fortunately for me, the key was visible through the window and I easily put a telescopic magnet through the letter box and retrieved it, thus being able to open the door and let the customer in easily. This was not the first time I have done this and while it makes my job easy, it also makes it easy for the burglar. I have lost count of the times I have seen keys hung near the front door within sight and easy reach of hooks through the letter box. However, when an intruder breaks into your home, they want to leave via the door with any large items they may have stolen. Having your keys near the door just makes it easy for them, so please do not leave your keys near the door in plain sight.
