Finally the cold weather has arrived, although even this month had a few days where t shirts seemed more appropriate than thermals.

Darker nights – more burglaries.
As the days get shorter it creates opportunities for burglars as there are more hours of darkness and daylight fades earlier in the evening before people get home.

Monthly Review – January 2014, Are Burglaries Really on the Decrease?
Unseasonably warm, if very wet, weather characterised this month. At GuardHome we were kept quite busy this month as we had a number of new clients. Unfortunately most of this new business occurred as a result of the misfortune of the new clients, as they fell victim to burglars.
