Bundaberg Patrol Group hope you enjoy your holidays with family and friends over the coming weeks. We know that holidays are a time for relaxing and ask for your help to not switch off from securing your personal property while staying at holiday accommodation or enjoying time at home.
In the past few days we have received reports of property being stolen from holiday caravan parks.
Follow our “10 tips” to holiday security…
- Remember your accommodation name, location and telephone number.
- Ensure your unit/room/caravan/cabin door is locked when sleeping or away including sliding glass doors on balconies.
- Do not leave items of value in view in your unit or on tables under annexes.
- Always lock doors and windows in your car – never leaving items of value in sight.
- Do not leave any valuable items unattended on beaches or in public places e.g. cameras, backpacks, shopping bags etc.
- Be aware of your surroundings especially when using ATMs.
- Avoid carrying large amounts of cash.
- Plan your night before you go out – use courtesy buses, taxis or travel in a group, especially if consuming alcohol.
- Choose the safest route out at night – shortest is not necessarily safest.
- Maintain contact with family and friends when you are away for an extended period.
