Halifax Home Insurance: Green-fingered thieves target gardens in summer

Halifax Home Insurance has published a survey which suggests that instances of garden equipment theft are likely to rise as the summer approaches.

According to the insurer's claim statistics, last summer saw a 63 per cent rise in the number of claims for garden equipment, despite the fact that it rained much of the time.

Halifax Home Insurance also found that the average cost of replacing stolen gardening equipment rose last summer, reaching £433.

Martyn Foulds, senior claims manager at Halifax Home Insurance, said: "It is important for homeowners to bear in mind the value of items outside the home as well as inside, as the collective cost of patio furniture, barbecues and children's play equipment can soon add up."

Abbey conducted research recently which revealed that the number of domestic break-ins is also likely to rise, due to the ongoing recession.
