• Consider keeping gold and jewellery in a safety deposit box. This can be in a bank.
• If you prefer to keep the items at home, then invest in a good quality safe, which is secured to a brick wall or floor.
• Store gold and jewellery in different locations in the house, but ensure that they are all in secure, protected areas.
• Consider purchasing CCTV cameras that cover your property.
• Register your property for free at immobilise.com
• Photograph each piece of valuable gold or jewellery against a plain background with a ruler alongside it. Also, keep a written description for each item.
