Why do thieves target rented shared accommodation including flats?

Thieves target shared accommodation because they know that;

•  The lifestyle of the residents means that the home is likely to be unoccupied during the daytime.

•  There are likely to be highly valuable items like Ipods, MP3s, Laptops and mobiles and that there are likely to be numerous sets of these items.

It is essential that if you live in these circumstances then you should acquire good home contents insurance.
