Road signs stolen from near Glenfarg
If you are away from home over the festive period or even just out and about, be careful about what you say on social networking sites – don’t let thieves know your house will be empty.
If you’re having a house party with lots of guests, it can be all too easy for a thief to slip in unnoticed. Make sure you know everyone who is there. If you’re going to a party, don’t let anyone tailgate you into a house or through a secured communal entry door who may not be a guest.
