Almost one-quarter of Brits 'have been victim to garden crime'

A new survey has found that almost one-quarter of British homeowners have fallen victim to garden crime.

This includes thieves escaping with their expensive furniture, ornaments, barbecues, children's toys and garden tools, found the poll, undertaken by GoCompare.com.

It discovered that the average garden contains £1,040 worth of items and that 24 per cent of people have had things stolen from their gardens in the past.

Of the things stolen from the gardens of British property owners, bicycles were found to be the items most frequently going missing (52 per cent), followed by expensive plants, furniture and garden tools.

Chief Executive of Gocompare.com Hayley Parsons said: "Most home insurance policies provide cover for gardens and their contents, but this can be limited, so it is best to check what cover you have and whether you need to extend it."

According to research from M&S Money, as many as two-in-three Brits have failed to check whether their garden valuables are covered by their home insurance policies.
