Royal Wedding Warning!

As the big day becomes ever closer for Prince William and Kate Middleton, most of the UK is gearing of for the big day by organising their parties or street parties!

Street parties are fairly typical in British culture when there is a Royal Wedding or when there are other big national events. However, there is some cause for concern on the big day, highlighted by financial giants AXA. They are predicting a peak in the level of burglaries on the day of the wedding. This is because approximately 40% of all Britons will be out of their homes during the Royal event, with 21% leaving their doors and windows unlocked!

But don’t cancel your plans just yet, as there are some simple steps you can take to ensure that enjoy the day worry-free.

For example:

·         Check your guest list: You want your party to be as popular as possible, but make sure you only invite people you or your friends know well.

·         Check windows and doors: If your party is taking place in your garden, let people through the side of your house so you won’t have to keep checking who is going in and out of your home.

·         If you are having a party in your house, keep an eye out on who is coming in to ensure it’s not just a stranger wondering in!

·         Street party: Make sure your doors and windows are secure before leaving for a street party with all security systems switched on. Also make a mental note of what belonging you are carrying on you. Some street parties will be very busy, so you’ll want to know where everything you’ve got on you is before you get there so you can keep an eye on it.

·         Check your home insurance:  It doesn’t take long to be a victim of a burglary. On days like these, you don’t want to be at more risk just to save a few pennies. Ensure that everything is covered so you can enjoy your day
