  1. Electronics including laptops and tablets - anything that is easy to carry and easy to sell.
  1. Cash/wallets/purses - if you leave cash lying around, you've made their job easy.
  1. Jewellery - always a popular choice for burglars, as it can be sold easily.
  1. Phones - a must-have for burglars as they can be wiped and sold.
  1. ID documents - passports, driver's licences, and credit cards, as they can be used for identity theft.  
  1. TVs - they love the ones with all the bells and whistles!
  1. Credit cards - especially those with a 'tap' option - they can be used to withdraw cash under a certain amount without having to enter a PIN.
  1. And don't forget your shed, which is probably full of power tools and bikes - which burglars love!  

It's important to remember that burglars are a lazy lot and look for opportunities where they won't have to work too hard. So, make sure your home is well secured and consider installing security screens, which will also work as a visual deterrent.
