The research, by Churchill Home Insurance, provides an insight into when burglars are most likely to strike and shows that homes are as vulnerable on week days as weekends, when people are out and about more. And while many people go out to indulge hobbies like sports and bingo or watch the football on Wednesday nights, the success of prime-time TV shows such as Supernanny, Lost and recently Desperate Housewives shows that for others, Wednesday night is stay-at-home night.

5. Saturday afternoon - North-East.

Martin Scott, Head of Home Insurance, says: “Our findings show that burglars will target homes on week nights as well as weekends and that homes need to be secure at all times, whether people are at home or not.”

So however captivating the Bingo session, midweek football or Lost are, home-owners should take the following simple precautions to deter criminals from entering their homes at all times:

Lock front and back doors even when the property is occupied.

Make sure the windows are securely locked in rooms that are not in use.

Check all doors and windows are securely closed and locked when leaving the home and before going to bed.

Scott concluded: “Burglaries can obviously occur at any time but a few simple precautions can make a real difference. Home owners should always be mindful of the risk of burglary and secure windows and doors when going out, even if it is only to visit a neighbour for a few minutes.”
