How Safe is Your Home? - Michael Fraser and celebrated cartoonist Bill Tidy, published by Spring Hill - £12.99
At one point in our lives we have either ourselves been burgled or heard of someone who has. It is a common occurrence nowadays even with expensive security systems in place. Michael Fraser's book 'How Safe is Your Home?' emits expert advice (yet, in a light-hearted and funny manner) to those looking for some simple tips on how to keep those burglars at bay. Also, with the help of Bill Tidy, the Uk's best loved cartoonist, this book is a joy; with numerous cartoons dotted throughout, this book is an enjoyable read for everyone.
Michael Fraser is a home security expert and presenter of BBC's 'Beat the Burglar' and 'To Catch a Thief'. However from an early age he began turning to petty crime, but at 16 after his last warning he turned his back on crime forever. Today, he is a successful entrepreneur and is putting his bad experiences to good use by helping others fight crime.
'How safe is your home?' covers the fundamentals and finer points of your security at home through chapters like;
-
From the Outside Looking In
-
From the Inside Looking Out
-
Gardens and Sheds
-
Garages and Cars
-
Burglar Alarms and Insurance
-
Holidays
This book outlines both major and minor changes that can be made to your home in order to keep you safe. It is a well written, comprehensive piece of literature with a witty edge that can be read by anyone, and enjoyed by all. I recommend this book for those interested in understanding the mind of a burglar, how to prevent them, and how to keep you safe from them. As Micheal Fraser states – Don't get done, get defensive.
