Beware Of Artificial Grass Thefts At Home!
There are many excellent reasons to have artificial grass in
Oldham installed in your garden, whether it’s ease of maintenance and reduced water usage or limiting the amount of harmful pesticides you use in your
outdoor spaces. But you do need to be a bit careful because it seems as though
nefarious people out there are intent on making off with your fake grass at the
moment.
Just last November, the Lancashire
Evening Post reported that a homeowner in Adlington in Chorley woke up to find
that half
his lawn had been pinched – grass that was worth up to £1,000.
Similarly, the Daily Mail recently
published a piece about a 65-year-old grandmother of six who had her front
lawn taken by thieves in broad daylight, while another homeowner had a £1,300
front lawn stolen in July.
Judy Dean commented at the time: “To say I was shocked is an
understatement. When I went out the front door I knew that there was something
different but my brain didn't engage straight away that the lawn went. I
thought ‘God! The grass is gone!’”
To protect your investment, it might be wise to have some
CCTV cameras installed so you know if something does happen while you’re not
there, you at least have the perpetrators on camera. This will certainly help
the police in their inquiries if you do find yourself a victim of this kind of
theft or, indeed, any other kind.
Installing a gravel pathway is also a good idea because then
you can hear if someone approaches your house.
