Every week a Guardian Money reader submits a question, and it’s up to you to help him or her out – a selection of the best answers will appear in next Saturday’s paper.
This week’s question:
We’ve just had our second burglary – the latest being an opportunistic handbag grab after we left the back door open on a sunny day. We have a burglar alarm; what other tips do readers have on devices or strategies to beat the burglars? We live in a standard London terrace with small front and back garden.
