The Burglars
are back:
Once again
we seem to
be suffering
at the hands
of these evil
lowlifes, the
opportunist
burglars who
continue to
make life a
misery for some of us. Lately there has been
a marked increase in house burglaries in our
area. Burglars have recently been targeting
Camposol, Mazarrón Country Club and
Isla Plana in particular. They are becoming
more and more ruthless in their methods
and do not care how much damage they do
in order to gain entry to your property. It
would appear that in many cases they are
targeting holiday homes and they seem to
be interested in fl at screen TVs, DVDs and
laptop computers in particular. They also
make such a mess as they tend to search
every cupboard and drawer just dumping
everything out on the fl oor. I am often the
fi rst outside person called in after the police
and I must say that I will never get used
to the wanton vandalism caused by these
people. It must be devastating for the
homeowners when they return home to view
such a scene.
What can you do to combat these
burglars?
You need to make sure that your property is
properly secured every time you leave home
and also when you are going to bed at night.
Never leave tools or any other implements
which might be used by the burglar lying
about or within easy reach. Get into a routine
of checking and double checking before you
go out or go to bed each night. Whatever
security measures that you have installed
in your home, always ensure that they are
operational. It is very important if you have
an alarm system fi tted and your insurance
company has been informed, then you must
always make sure that it is fully operational
and armed. If you forget to arm it and are
unlucky enough to be burgled then your
claim may be invalid.
