No entry gained PLEASE do what you can to make your rear gardens more secure – lock side gates, keep wheelie bins behind these gates and ensure your fence is maintained. Consider additional trellis along fences and over side gates to deter climbing. Appropriate security lighting at front, side and rear (especially where overlooked) is also a big deterrent, along with forensic property marking or property registration (SelectaDNA or www.immobilise.com with the relevant stickers displayed).
