PROTECT PARCELS FROM THEFT

✔ Order your parcel to go to a collection point rather than risk it being left on your doorstep.

✔ Invest in a parcel safe (such as an iparcelbox, £219.99; iparcelbox.com) to ensure your package is secure.

✔ A camera or video doorbell will record anyone approaching your front door (and can help identify potential thieves). The Ring Video Doorbell 3 Plus streams and records HD video and is easy to install – you can buy this at Amazon for £199.
