  1. Introduction A burglary or robbery is a crime that makes you feel victimized and just simply terrible. You might have difficulties falling asleep, startle easily at loud noises, or just feel tense or irritated all the time. That is a typical phase of the healing process, but it might be detrimental to your health. Furthermore, it is distressing to know that properties may be burgled again. This is because burglars may be tempted to commit crimes again in homes where they have previously had success (and where stolen goods may have been replaced with new ones). To prevent yourself, your family, and your property from being targeted again after a burglary, it's critical to act quickly and call for Burglary Repair London. Below we have provided some tips that help you reclaim your peace of mind after burglary.

  2. Seven Important Tips on What to Do After a Burglary 1. Contact the police 2. Rebound from Your Shock 3. Make a List of the Items that are Missing 4. Re-secure Your Home 5. Notify Your Home Insurance Company 6. Get Emotional support 7. Conduct a Thorough Security Audit with ASL Burglary Repairs

  3. 1. Contact the police This may seem basic and obvious, but if you arrive home and it appears that you have been burgled, try to remain cool. There's a possibility the thief is still inside. So, if you hear any noises or think the thief may still be inside, don't approach him or her; instead, dial 999 right away. If you feel that it is safe to go inside your house, try not to touch anything because you can lose important evidence. Leave everything as you found it and dial 101 for the police assistance line to file a victim complaint. You will also be given a police reference number that you can use for insurance purposes. Once the police arrive, allow them to gather their evidence undisturbed. This involves taking pictures and inquiring about any witnesses or CCTV/doorbell camera footage from the neighbors. In addition to them, another team or investigator could arrive for things like fingerprints. Finally, the police will provide their recommendations for rescuing the property. Along with keeping you informed of the progression of your burglary case.

  4. 2. Rebound from Your Shock Make sure that everyone in your home is present and accounted for while you wait for the police. If you're alone, make an effort to get a reliable neighbour (or friend/relative) to visit you. It can be a highly stressful period, and you will require support. Typically, it could take some time for the police to show up if a crime is no longer being committed. If you can wait somewhere else, like a neighbour's house, while someone else looks after yours, this will give you and anyone else you live with some time to rest and collect your thoughts.

  5. 3. Make a List of the Items that are Missing Make a list of anything you notice is missing and give it to the police (if you haven't already). In the future, if you come across anything new, you can always update them. Don't forget to look in any garages or sheds for any stolen bikes or tools. It's possible that the intruder entered using one of your tools or a ladder.

  6. 4. Re-secure Your Home By this time, perhaps the police have provided assistance or advice for securing the property (such as around any damaged windows or doors). If you are not the owner of the property, please notify your landlord. Your insurer will also be able to provide advice on home security. So, as soon as you identify the point at which the burglar entered your home, you must immediately re-secure it. If a door or window is damaged, have it repaired as soon as possible. Additionally, if the burglar has stolen your keys, be sure to call a locksmith right away to change the locks.

  7. 5. Notify Your Home Insurance Company If you experience a burglary, first, check your insurance policy to see what you can claim. Contact your insurance company within a day, giving them the police's crime reference number. Share your list of stolen items and any damage details. Even items of smaller value can sometimes be claimed, so provide all the information you have. To make claims easier, it’s good to keep receipts, serial numbers, and even photos of valuable items. This also goes for important documents like passports and credit card numbers. Pictures of your home before any incident can be helpful for insurance claims and repair assessments. Also, remember to list valuable or sentimental items, like jewellery, separately on your insurance policy to ensure they’re covered.

  8. 6. Get Emotional support In your house, where you should feel the safest, a burglary can have a profound effect on your sense of security. Even if you feel fine, any children you have could not be. Hence, talk to professionals for their assistance. There is a lot of help available, and we suggest speaking with "Victim Support," who have a support phone number that is available 24/7 (08 08 16 89 111).
