We would advise people to have bars at windows and doors fitted. An alarm may be a deterrent as well. Maybe if you have a trusted neighbour, get them to visit the property reguarly. Put lights on a timer and possibly a radio to make a noise in the evening. Mostly be very careful who you tell about any absence from the property. We are getting claims where the main suspects are people that may be known to the victim. We can insure rural homes at a reasonable cost but it will be more expensive without protection.
