- You should never underestimate the capability of the professional thief - size and weight are not necessarily deterrents!
- Do not automatically assume that workers wearing day-glow donkey jackets are on official business. The greater the value of your garden contents, the greater the risk that Tommy T-Leaf will take. Be vigilant. If in doubt call the Police or notify Crimestoppers: 0800 555 111
- Make sure that your property never looks uninhabited. If neighbours are on holiday, be vigilant on their behalf.

Gardien Recommends:
- To safeguard expensive garden items it is even more important that consideration is given to the overall recommendations outlined in:
Walls & Fences walls and fences security
Gates & Access
- Try to ensure that valuable items are not easily visible to the casual passer-by
- Wherever possible, use a fixing technique to secure valuable items. These can vary depending upon the item and the location. For example:-
a) Permanent Items, such as Troughs, Birdbaths, Sundials Statuary etc. should be fixed on a solid base using a strong adhesive, such as epoxy patching mortar – available at most builders merchants.
b) Moveable items, such as Benches, Barbecues, Garden Furniture etc should (when not in use), be chained to permanent ground anchors.
- Asset Tags which may be suitable for protecting certain items, especially when the tags can be installed unobtrusively.
- Consider installing a Garden Security CCTV system to secure your valuable garden items - it is a real deterrent, and will capture any individuals trespassing near your garden antiques.
