Smartwater..Please use...
If an item is marked a thief will probably not steal it because it will be much harder to sell. After all, when there is lots of unmarked property around it's easier to steal that instead.
Mark your property
SmartWater is a chemically based forensic dye likened in concept to DNA profiling and unique to the registered owner. It is colourless, odourless and once applied to valuables such as computers, Hi Fi equipment, cameras, DVD or Video players, it is virtually impossible to remove.
If an offending burglar gets SmartWater on them, it is almost impossible to get off and immediately shows up if that person is examined with ultra violet light in a custody suite. A mark just the size of a pinhead is enough for that person to be linked to a crime scene.
SmartWater can be purchased direct from www.smartwater.co.uk, or from the Crime Prevention Officers at Stratford Police Station on 01789 414111.
Because each application of SmartWater has its own DNA code, it means that any criminals who are later arrested can be linked forensically to the crime scenes.

Garden Safe - Shed Burglaries....
Please read below for ideas on how to keep your garden safe....
Check your boundary fences walls and gates. Keep them in good repair as they do provide a useful barrier to the would - be thief. Consider the use of plant protection - such as thorny shrubs - Pyracantha, Berberies etc.
Ensure that your household insurance policy covers theft from your garden and outbuildings.
Install outside security lighting (DUSK to DAWN)
Sheds and other small buildings...
Fit at least one heavy duty hasp and close shackle padlock plus strong hinges all with coach bolts bolted through the door and frame for extra strength.
Secure all the tools inside with a chain and padlock - these items are not only often stolen but regularly used to break into your or a neighbour’s home or shed.
Fit any windows with a grille inside the shed.
A shed alarm can be obtained at your local police station at a reasonable price.
A little bit of effort can save a lot of grief!
Property mark all valuables such as lawnmowers, hedge trimmers and garden furniture. Post coding can be done with ultra violent marking pens, engraving, stamping or even paint. A SmartWater property marking kit is another product that can be used to act as a deterrent to theft/burglary offences - www.smartwater.com
