THE BURGLARY BUSINESS AND YOU

Hardback. Every minute of every day a burglary takes place. Burglary is big business - for the burglars, for the receivers and for the insurance companies. The police find it ever harder to beat - and for the victim it is often heartbreaking. This book - the first of its kind - is a revelatory investigation of the burglars' world, their victims, their ingenious techniques, their relationship with the receivers and the criminal business underworld, and of the methods employed by the police, at the time, to snare them. It is also an indispensable guide for the consumer to defending his home and worldly goods with common sense measures, from locks to the 'latest' detective sensory and alarm systems linked to security companies and the police. The author looks, too, at the insurance companies and how they can and could best help their customers: notably with a new no-claims bonus scheme. Illus., Appendices and Index. 153pp. 8vo. h/back.
