(PRWEB) April 2, 2010
Queensland burglars continue to cash in on our technology obsession, with digital cameras and MP3 players topping a thiefs wishlist, according to new research from NRMA Home Insurance.
The insurer is reminding Queensland households to take extra care with home security over the Easter break, especially if going away.
NRM Insurance Corporate Affairs Manager Sue Hawkins said much of our new technology was proving a treasure trove for thieves because it was portable, popular and easy to pawn.
Most of the items that make the top 10 on a thiefs wish list can be stowed in a backpack, which means a burglar can get in and out of a home quickly and easily with quite a stash if the opportunity presents itself, she said.
We encourage everyone to lock up when ever they leave home, whether its for five minutes or a week. Thieves only need a few minutes to break-in and grab your valuables.
Ms Hawkins said households should ensure they had home contents insurance, and to make sure it was updated in line with significant purchases, such as televisions.
