Four offences were reported to
Police during February, which is another good outcome for our area. It should be noted that both burglaries
occurred during the daytime, with the other offences at night. It is important to make sure your house is
always locked when you go out.
If you don’t have window locks,
I would recommend them, as you can then lock your windows slightly open to let
a breeze still come through the house.
If you can afford proper keyed window locks, Bunnings sell the
“old-style” screw-on window locks for about $4.00 each. Failing that, the old dowel in the window
track will stop many crooks.
There have been a number of
Telstra/Bigpond/Microsoft computer scams occurring lately. Telstra, Bigpond or Microsoft (or any other
similar business) will never call you to advise you of a problem with
your computer. I have also received
reports of callers threatening to disconnect your internet if you refuse them
access to your computer. If you receive such a call, hang up
immediately. Do not provide access
to your computer or give your credit card details to the person. If you are unsure whether the call is
genuine, hang up and call the business back using the phone number from the
Yellow Pages phone book, website or your account statement.
