I'm Richard Taylor reformed burglar now security expert through these eye tracking glasses I'm going to show you my perspective of how I see a house as a burglar and how I can give you tips to help you protect your home so the reason a burglar would see it's a potential target of a house to burglar there's a couple of things first of all the bin on.
The side is a great tool for burglar acts as a ladder near your wheel up against to get up over the fence oh really Bentley out of sight out of mind you go a bit of hedge coverage here covering the front door and as I make my way to the front door straight away I'm struck by the mail it's in the box the person hasn't taken the post in the.
Bill that will come around your check the window is open our clause potential weak spot and then when he moved from your you go to the gate there's no deterrent here at all there's no lock on the door there's a sign that says beware of the dog for example is a psychological sign I'd be checking the windows as a burglar would to see any.
Weak spots now a lot of these older windows are easy to get into you can take the building off you can take the window out literally they're easy to get into and saw a burglar would look at that as a potential first of all the thing I know this is very exposed obviously a lot of neighbors can see in saw he's got nowhere to hide really so.
We can't spend much time in this area I'd walk up to the door check those anybody in you'll be amazed the amount of people who leave their front doors open so you got a window that's wide open upstairs the alarm system is something of Noah's Ark it's that old so that's probably not working but the window itself is so big so vast there's.
No coverage here there's no blinds up on the tilt I can see straight in on the mantelpiece that our birthday cards well a birthday was somebody else's Aladdin's cave to a burglar and I'm guessing there's something worth stealing in there so my next thing is to try and find access there's a passageway here as you can see securely locked from the.
Front really secure the back of the house is just as secure as the front as I'm looking here to my right and you can see that the fence is there backs onto another property there's no access point there's no escape routes so that's a no-go area I turn my attention to the back of the house I look at all the windows of Klaus there's a security.
Light there which obviously means they are security conscious and the door has in most cases you know a burglar would attempt to get in from the back door which is where most burglars do get it and like I say the doors lock this house is well as a hot potato I wouldn't go nowhere near it as a burglar you can see this estate lovely houses probably lots.
Of money as well by the looks of it we've got an alarm system you can see the blinds are completely shut not a good thing there should be slightly tinted and this is grass shoots frosted but I can see through have a little look to the letterbox and obviously check the door from the front it's pretty secure but from the back we need to find a.
Point of access so what we have here hey presto it's a garden geared and guess what no lock on the back cheapest chip to do a couple of quid but people don't tend to do anything about this and as I worked on you I can see straight away these chip bins these are used a lot of the time as psychological barriers because they create a lot of noise and.
So that's a good thing and so I've run the backyard where I've got all the time in the world because of this beautiful panel defense in great bit of privacy but straight away this door is vulnerable if I look at it I can see movement where there's movement that means I can get a tool behind there what's worse is this is not toughened.
Glass tap this caused it to crack and split and put my hand in and obviously you open the door from the inside so this straightaway is a soft spot bins are like labs as the burglars pop on bang up you go come across your blinds a wide open this is a shop wing door so I can look inside see what goods are in there things potentially be stolen and.
Obviously this is a kind of house has probably got a bit of cash in and a bit of dollar so I would definitely target this one take it from me a reformed burglar keep your house don't wait until you've been burgled to do something about it
