Is it safe to leave garden furniture on your terrace?
Am I being ridiculous? We have just invested in a modern garden sofa, chair, table set that cost more than similar for inside (!), and I am now a bit concerned that it might be stolen. There have been a couple of break-ins on our small complex, but these have been when people have gone out for the day etc, and they only seem to have been interested in small valuable items that can obviously be quickly sold on.
Our property is on the first floor with a side terrace some distance from other properties. Although we are in a gated community, our place is at the end and it might just be possible to hook something over the top of the terrace railings from outside the complex, although husband thinks this is highly unlikely.
I would love to hear if others have been able to leave garden furniture without (or with) any problems please and any advice about the best approach.
