It seems that burglaries increase by 25% over the Christmas and end of year holidays. Inevitably police say you should have good locks, preferably a burglar alarm and even video surveillance. We find barking dogs are a deterrent, but most at risk are houses which are empty either for the winter or because owners are away for the holiday. Larger properties in towns are most at risk and living off the beaten track is safer from the passing opportunist thief. But if you are away, arrange for a neighbour or even the gendarmes to check.
