Burgled? Here’s What to Do Right Away to Stay Safe

Nobody wants to be burgled, but knowing what to do helps you stay safe and protects your insurance claim.

Straight away

  • If you think someone is still inside, leave and call 999.
  • Otherwise report it to the police and get a crime reference number.
  • Avoid touching anything the police may want to examine.

Next

  • Photograph all damage and make a list of what’s missing.
  • Call a locksmith to replace damaged locks and secure doors and windows.
  • Contact your insurer with the crime reference and invoices.
  • Cancel any stolen cards and change passwords.
