Gardien the UKs No1 online garden security company (www.garden-security.co.uk) are warning gardeners to be vigilant and check their security after reports that soaring oil prices are leading to thieves siphoning off diesel and oil from storage tanks and breaking into sheds and outbuildings for garden mower petrol cans.
Hampshire Police have recently warned homeowners to secure their fuel supplies because the thefts were becoming such a problem and shed breaks are reaching epidemic proportions across the UK.
On several occasions, domestic oil tanks had been drained overnight. Vehicles and boats parked overnight on driveways are also providing easy targets.
Bill Seddon, Managing Director of Gardien comments "With the price of fuel rising daily this is a worrying trend. It is important that anyone storing fuel, no matter how small the amount, ensures it is safe and secure and not an easy target for thieves. With the onset of summer, extra activity, and this additional threat in the garden, now is the time to be reviewing garden security provision, paying particular attention to perimeter protection, lighting and shed security".
The Gardien website www.garden-security.co.uk offers a comprehensive resource to gardeners and householders with a wealth of crime prevention information from nationally recognised experts, accredited security products for purchase online, specialist advice on retrieval, valuation and insurance along with a FREE inventory to download to assess and record your property value.
