A few of my regular visitors will know that I am the ‘Home Security’ correspondent for Crime Reduction Partnership News, an excellent one-stop website for all professionals involved in crime reduction partnerships in the UK.  I recently sent them an article about domestic safes, which makes reference to the fact that of the many hundreds of people who have completed our Home Security Survey only 9% reckon to have a safe that is acceptable to their insurers.  Since a great many of the people who have completed our survey are security aware (members of Neighbourhood Watch for example) I suspect this figure is artificially high and I reckon the national figure is not more than 5%. Whichever figure you accept they are both quite low, which is a shame, because an insurance rated safe can offer a decent level of security that would defeat most burglars and provide you with some piece of mind, especially since we’re often talking about the protection of things that have a great deal of sentimental value, even if they are not intrinsically valuable.

So, if you would like to find out more about safes, please take a look at the information page on this website and if you’d like the chance to win one from our friends at TotalSafes.co.uk then do visit our competition page to find out how.

You know it makes sense!
