Most burglaries and thefts are opportunistic. Don’t make theft easy! When you lock up your stuff you can easily and simply avoid becoming a victim of crime.
Checklist:
- Lock all doors and close all windows every time you leave the house.
- Secure your keys and other valuables.
- Never leave your car running or the keys in your car.
-
If possible, install anti-theft devices (cameras or alarms) and ensure they are working correctly.
If a crime has already occurred:
- If a crime is happening now, or if it’s urgent - like if your car is being stolen or home burgled, call triple zero.
- If you suspect or witness a crime, alert local police, Crime Stoppers and your neighbours. A supported community is a protected community.
If a crime has already occurred, phone the Police Assistance Line 131 444 or submit an online report 24/7 via online reporting for all non-urgent matters including:
- theft of valuables or money
- property damage
- lost property
Always notify your insurer and obtain a police report for any claims.
