Shed-Break - Derby
Between the hours of 6 pm Wednesday evening through to 7 am last Thursday, a number of shed break-ins were reported to the Derbyshire police. This comes just a matter of weeks after shed burglaries had been recorded in both the London borough of Sutton and in Staffordshire. These new accounts of shed burglaries resulted in the theft of two mountain bikes when a shed door was forced open in Saxondale Avenue in the quiet town of Mickleover, Derby, only hours before another mountain bike was taken in the same manner from another shed in the nearby street of Banwell Close. Many other sheds were reported as broken into, but luckily for the owners, there was nothing of value for the thieves to steal.
Derbyshire police are now urging members of the public to be extra cautious and vigilant for any suspicious-looking activity in their area and to report any overly suspicious activity to the police immediately. Residents of the area are also being reminded to make sure that their outdoor storage areas are secure and their home security is in full working order to prevent these sorts of attacks from happening again.
These criminal attacks can be extremely worrying if you are also in a position where you keep highly priced items in your shed and assume they are safe. Unfortunately, the traditional wooden shed, although it can be very appealing to the eye, is not extremely secure against criminal attack. The downside of any wooden structure is that no matter how much security you apply to it, if someone wants to get into a wooden structure, they will.
This is why here at Asgard, we only manufacture metal sheds, due to their high durability and security aspects. Unlike most metal garden sheds for sale, our sheds also come with a high-durability metal floor panel to ensure the complete security of your valuables, no matter what angle a thief may try to break in from. Although it may seem an unnecessary cost to get a new garden shed, the future return on it could be huge if your shed is to be under attack, especially if your shed is home to expensive items such as lawnmowers and bikes.
