Living in Queensland during these hot summer months means the house can heat up very quickly and become very uncomfortable to live in. Therefore, it’s only natural for you to want to open all the doors and windows in your house to let some air flow through to cool the house down.
As the hot Queensland sun is going down in the late afternoon/evening, most households will open their windows and doors to let this air flow in.

The criminals are hoping that you have left your doors and windows unlocked or used your finger to flick the latch down rather than key locking it.
There has been an increase in burglary offences across the South Brisbane Police District in the past few hot summer months.
When windows and doors are left unlocked, offenders are using this
