Eight ways to theft-proof your home while on holiday as domestic burglaries soar during August
IF you are worried about keeping your home secure while on holiday, TV property expert Phil Spencer has come to the rescue. 4 4 August is the peak month for burglaries – with a 28 per cent rise in break-ins, according to Tesco Insurance. Here Phil, the founder of property advice website Move iQ, shares some of the simple ways to burglar-proof your home – from wallet-friendly deterrents like a dummy CCTV camera and alarm sticker, to smart doorbells. FRONT FOCUSED: Most break-ins are unplanned. Make your property look hard to enter so burglars are more likely to transfer attention elsewhere. Phil says: 'More than a third of break-ins are made through the front door so it's essential you make it as secure as possible. "Fit adequate deadlocks and hinges and reinforce frames when necessary.' A master locksmith is a great source of advice for security additions that will serve as deterrents. See SECURE THE SHED: Easily accessible and usually containing valuables like tools and bikes, our outbuildings and sheds are an easy target. Protect yours with padlocks tested to a high standard. The police suggest those with BS EN 12320 ratings. Shed bars and glazing grilles, available from hardware stores, can reinforce entry points and windows. Why You Should Blur Your Home on Google Maps – Safety Tips for Homeowners And blackout window film (£5.99, from can obscure garden goodies from unwelcome gazes. CHANGE LOCKS: Back doors, windows and patio entry points are often overlooked, but these must also be locked. Phil advises: 'If you have recently moved in, then you should change the locks to all your doors. 'You can't be sure who still has a set of keys. 'Consider fitting both a Yale and a double-action mortice lock for extra security. 'If you're renting, check your tenancy agreement to see if changing the locks is allowed.' Some UPVC-style rear doors are fitted with protruding locks that can be snapped off easily, so it may be worth changing these for safer alternatives. SMART TECH: While expensive gold-standard alarms provide great property protection, new technological advances mean there are cheaper alternatives. Smart doorbells with video, home cameras, motion sensors and floodlights can all persuade burglars to move on. 'COMMON SENSE' Lightbulbs, curtains and heating can also be set to timers so your home does not look unoccupied. Many can also be linked to your phone via an app so that you can keep an eye on your property at all times. For a cheaper option, consider a dummy CCTV camera. The police suggest this, paired with a fake warning or alarm sticker, can be equally off-putting. HOME ALONE: Regular deliveries piling up on your doorstep show there is nobody home. Cancel scheduled orders from supermarkets, food suppliers or online delivery companies. Or ask a friend to collect them for you. A trustworthy person to water plants and pick up post can ensure your home does not look empty. Asking a neighbour to park on your driveway works well too. But use your common sense. 4 Phil warns: 'Don't undo all your hard work by leaving a spare key under a plant pot! 'Opportunistic thieves will look in traditional hiding places like this. 'If you need to leave a key for others, keep it in a discreetly hidden lockbox secured to a wall.' CHECK YOUR INSURANCE: Ensuring your paperwork is in order before shutting your suitcase is a simple way to provide peace of mind. But it's also easily overlooked. 'EASY TO PREVENT' Double check any insurance policies covering your belongings – building, car and contents – are still applicable while your home is unoccupied and that all details and values are up to date. HIDE VALUABLES: Consider where you leave snatch-and-go valuables such as jewellery, wallets and laptops. Make sure belongings are not visible though entry points. Consider a small home safe, or hide in kitchen containers. Phil says: 'If your door has a traditional letterbox, install a guard on the back to prevent anyone reaching in or trying to hook out nearby items. 'This type of theft is surprisingly common, but easy to prevent.' DON'T POST PICS: If your social media accounts are not private, your photos will highlight you are not home. Wait until you get back to share images. 4

Mudtown review — in a legal fix with Newport's very own Tony Soprano
If you felt like bailing out of Mudtown (U&Alibi) after the first episode because, despite a very good cast, it sometimes felt like being slapped on the head by a magistrate's handbook, then I hear you. I cringed when Claire (a magistrate played by an otherwise compelling Erin Richards) lectured her fellow magistrates that 'we're all innocent until proven guilty' and must not 'judge a book by its cover'. (You don't say? If actual officials on the actual bench need telling this, then God help us.) It was also clunky when Claire's mentor reminded her that the job was 'justice without fear or favour, affection or ill will'. Do magistrates po-facedly quote the oath to each other in their downtime? I can't lie and say that I didn't hate it when the magistrates in their private room joked about animal cruelty cases, bantering about a 'cat in a trouser press' and a 'hamster in a blender'. They were dealing with a lout who had thrown a chihuahua off a high balcony. One defended him, saying he'd had a tough start in life. Another said: 'I don't like those little dogs.' What? Bar that man from the bench. Put him in a cell! However, it would be a pity if you did choose to bail on this (I've just realised that's a terrible pun), because it gets much better after that expositional first episode. Mudtown, named because of the muddy riverbanks in Newport, South Wales, also deserves credit for being a crime drama that — praise be — isn't about the police. And it features the excellent Tom Cullen (John 'Goldfinger' Palmer in The Gold) as Saint Pete, a brooding, scary crime boss dubbed 'Newport's very own Tony Soprano'. Well, he's certainly charismatic. • Tom Cullen interview: 'I've worked with some nefarious characters' Pete is a childhood sweetheart of Claire, the duo having grown up together and got into trouble on the same estate. Now Claire is studying to be a lawyer at night school while also working as a manager filling shelves in a warehouse. She is a woman of the people, aiming to provide a better life for her young son, dozy, debt-ridden husband and wayward teenage daughter, Beca (a talented Lauren Morais). Though there was more clunky dialogue at the warehouse when a fellow worker told Claire: 'I don't know how you juggle being our manager and volunteering as a magistrate. You're like a superhero!' OK, we get it. The intrigue centres on an arson attack at a derelict building during which £2 million of Saint Pete's hidden money was either burnt or stolen and he isn't too happy about it. Cue a series of events featuring beatings, guns and extreme violence, though for light relief we get debt collectors knocking on Claire's door. • Read more TV reviews, guides about what to watch and interviews There are some good performances here (the Welsh-language version of the series was shown last year with the title Ar y Ffin), particularly from Richards, Cullen, Morais, Matthew Gravelle as Claire's hapless husband and Lloyd Meredith as the local ne'er-do-well and dog chucker with a secret. You may find it hard to swallow lines such as, 'The kid's in over his head!' or the idea of a magistrate actually investigating things herself, but this series is trying something different. It's worth a few hours of your time.★★★☆☆ Love TV?

There's only one way out of Labour's asylum hotel chaos – but will Starmer EVER do it?
Judge dread THE mums and dads of Epping have forced the Government to accept that the use of hotels to house asylum seekers is now unsustainable. Dozens of council leaders rushed forward yesterday to say they would be launching their own legal challenges. 1 But the Government remains clueless about where to put asylum seekers. Home Office minister Dan Jarvis muttered about 'appropriate' alternatives yesterday but could not explain what they might be. They must know that if large groups of young men are placed in blocks of flats and houses among communities that don't want them, then protests like the one seen in Epping will simply shift there instead. Labour has no answer to this and remains unwilling to accept the obvious short term solution: building secure detention centres. It's also ironic — after years of Labour's glorying in the Tories' struggles with activist judges — to see Keir Starmer now blown off course by a High Court decision. Aside from ending the benefits incentive for asylum seekers, there is only one way out of this for the PM. Work to reform the European Court of Human Rights and use new laws to deport illegal migrants immediately. Will he ever do it? Monster's ball WHY are prison chiefs treating the Southport killer like a naughty teenager instead of the sick monster that he is? Alex Rudakubana threw boiling water over a prison guard in a terrifying pre-planned attack from a landing. Protesters arrested near migrant hotel after 'asylum seeker guest' arrested on suspicion of assault His punishment was to have his 'privileges' taken away. Now the beast has his TV and DVD player back in a desperate bribe by prison governors to get him to behave. It's the same soft touch culture that allowed Soham double murderer Ian Huntley to stroll around his prison wing wearing a Manchester United lookalike shirt mocking his victims. Radicalised, sadistic and highly dangerous, Rudakubana will never change. Stop indulging him. Unhappy birthday WE wonder — as he sipped his bottles of Prosecco on his birthday — if Huw Edwards considered finally doing the right thing and returning the BBC licence-payers' money he trousered? The shamed star earned £200,000 in salary AFTER his arrest on child sex offences. Since pleading guilty and being fired, he has been living off his £300,000-a-year pension. But Edwards, a narcissist sex offender and bully, has never done anything remotely decent in his life. No doubt his victims will be hoping he choked on his bubbly.
