The top 20 burglary hotspots
The number of burglaries is soaring in the recession, with £100 million worth of insurance claims in the first quarter of 2009 the most expensive quarter for the insurance industry in five years.
Homes in London and Nottingham are the most likely to be burgled, according to research from Moneysupermarket.com, after it analysed 2.6 million home insurance enquiries on the site last year.
Here are the 20 UK postcode districts most likely to fall victim, with the percentage of homes in that district claiming for theft or burglary on their home insurance.

Secret is buy a complete house, as it appears only half houses or less get burgled.
