Particular factors to be considered in respect of sheds are as follows:-
Wooden sheds should not be used to store items of value such as power tools, lawnmowers or heaters;
Outbuildings should always be kept locked and windows boarded up or, if boarding up is not possible, obscured to conceal the contents;
Other tools such as spades and ladders can often be used by the criminal. A spade makes an effective lever for prising off doors or lids from chests, and ladders, of course, provide access to roofs. These items should always be kept locked away. Where this is not possible with ladders, they should be stored on their side, locked to secure fixtures Rawlbolted to a solid wall, using close-shackled padlocks or heavy-duty chains with good quality padlocks
