Ways to prevent letterbox burglary Are the keys to your property in plain sight. By this I mean do you have glazed panels in your door that a burglar could observe your hallway etc? Even when your door is unglazed I recommend you take a wee look through your letterbox (from the outside) to see what can be seen. Should you be able to see anything valuable then put them out of sight or store upstairs. Does your letterbox have a draught excluder? If not I would recommend having a new one installed, one which comes with a draught excluder. Over and above its draught excluding qualities it also blocks potential burglars from being able to see through the gap and into your hallway. Get a letterbox restrictor fitted. This is one of the easiest and simplest of preventative measures on thew market. Its very simple to install and is very effective. The letterbox restrictor prevents hands or tools being pushed or manipulated through your letterbox. Just remove your letterbox altogether. This may seem a tad extreme but hear me out. You can fit a stand alone letterbox on your gate. Perhaps this is not practical or a bit expensive but it will stop letterbox burglary for sure.
