Display your “No selling or buying at this door” sticker.
Think before opening your door. Are you expecting someone ? Do they have an appointment ? Ask for proof of identity. If they don’t have an appointment, tell them to wait outside while you ring their office to confirm their identity. If you are suspicious at all do not let them in. If you feel at risk ring the police on 999.
Don’t leave anything on display in your car, make sure doors are locked and windows closed. If your car does not have a security system, use a steering lock.
