Had a call to gain access to this container lock that another locksmith could not do unless he attempted to grind it off, so turned up and had a go at picking the lock with limited space to work in and hey presto the lock was open and the guys waiting could empty the container!

"Thanks for receipt Steve! I have now been to cottage, and very pleased with your work! I could tell you some ridiculous reasons from various 'workmen' why no one would be able to access my door?!! ... They said it would mean breaking a window etc. ... I knew that was rubbish, hence, I called the 'Professionals' cheers, and many thanks!" - Pat

Thieves are using stickers advertising a fictitious local locksmith company to mark homes which are an 'easy target'. The criminals carry out a preliminary reconnaissance on the area and mark houses which are deemed as having poor security measures in place.

The authorities are advising residents to remove the stickers immediately if they see any on their doors or windows.

The latest UK crime statistics show an alarming rise in vehicle thefts involving the use of a key with 25 percent of all stolen vehicles now being taken with the original key or a cloned copy. It is important to lock your car, even when kept in a garage, and ensure your car keys are kept out of sight from the opportunist thief as a car which is stolen with the use of a key is unlikely to be covered in the event of an insurance claim.
