Property marking

New Year, new presents – keep them safe

How better than to start the new year with a resolution to keep your property safe.

Aylesbury Vale District Council and Thames Valley Police are working in partnership to keep burglary low over the New Year period by encouraging residents to safeguard Christmas presents by using property marking kits.

The kits include a UV marker, which enables valuables to be marked with your house number and postcode so if goods do get stolen and then recovered by the police they can be returned to you.

Marking your property is quick and easy and is a fundamental deterrent to thieves as it exposes them to risk if caught and prevents them from selling goods on.

For a free UV property marking kit, please call into Customer Services at Aylesbury Vale District Council, 66 High Street, Aylesbury, or from the AVDC desk in the Buckingham Centre/Library, Buckingham from the beginning of February.
