In the last period, criminal proceedings started at Sopron Police Station in several cases because someone stole small tools and machines that were left in a weekend house. Customization parks are often off the beaten path, so they are easy targets for criminals.
As the weather gets colder, the days get shorter, we visit our plots less and less on the weekends. That is why it is so important to close the garden and the small house as carefully as possible and secure the most valuable items stored there. It is worth strengthening the door of a small house, renewing hardware and locks and, if necessary, replacing them. It is a good idea to have the door protected by several safety locks, if possible. It is worth strengthening the windows with a latch on the inside and shutters or shutters on the outside. The garden gate should also be closed, and the fence around the garden should be checked to make sure there is no damage or entry point. Valuable small tools and machines should be taken home – advised Police Major Katalin Babila Lukacs, Key Crime Prevention Spokesperson at Sopron Police Station.
Everyone has the right to protect their valuables, but it is important that we act in accordance with the rules of legitimate, precautionary protection. This means that the device used to protect property should not be able to eliminate life. A guard dog or an outdoor camera can also be helpful. Talk to your garden neighbors about observing each other’s schemes and giving each other their contact information. If a suspicious person is spotted, monitor his movements and his vehicle, call the emergency number 112 if necessary, follow the major.
