The Royal Mint To Extract Gold From Old Phones

Great to hear the @royalmint investing in new phone recycling tech.

CheckMEND.com is the only due-diligence service assuring compliance with the UK Recyclers’ Code of Best Practice.

Keep In Mind Door Security

When it comes to home security, the front door continues to be a leading target for potential break-ins. According to data from the Office for National Statistics, 76% of domestic burglars in England and Wales accessed a property through a door, and in 24% of cases where entry was gained, the door was unlocked!

Opportunistic thieves have been using different tactics to break into homes, including lock snapping and various tools to gain access. And so, having a front door lock that meets specific standards set by professional institutions will help prevent break-ins.

Keeping Your Shed Or Garage Safe And Secure

The nights are drawing in. Check that your shed or garage is secure. Make sure valuables are hidden from view, locked down, marked, and registered on immobilise.com. The opportunist burglar will typically try a shed or garage first to find the tools they need to break into the main house, or steal valuables that can make some easy cash.

According to Police, the top five most common items stolen from sheds are:

  1. Bikes
  2. Mowers
  3. Sports equipment
  4. Power tools
  5. Garden tools

Get it Logged, Get It Back!

To secure a bike, all you need to find is the frame number or add any marking product and record that number instead. It’s completely free, forever. If your bike goes missing, you can easily log in to immobilise.com 24/7 and change the status to lost or stolen, making it immediately visible to police and traceable back to you. Registration could be the difference between a criminal getting away with it or being charged and your bike being returned.
