Doncaster and Bristol have been named as the UK's thieving hotspots in a study by Moneysupermarket.com, the financial comparison website.
The study highlights the postcodes where the highest proportion of homes have made an insurance claim for a burglary in the past 12 months.
Almost six per cent of homes in areas of Bristol and Doncaster have made a claim. Canvey Island, which lies off the south coast of Essex, comes in a close third place at just over five per cent.
That's bad news, not just for the obvious reason that it is no fun being burgled, but also because home contents insurance is likely to be higher in areas where thieves are most active.
Here are the 20 UK postcodes most likely to claim for theft or burglary on their home insurance

BS7 is Montpelier, another fine example of multiculturalism.
I'm not to certain for the rest of the examples, but I do know that Kingston and Streatham has a large proportion of black residents.
In the case of Streatham, I could work for ages and not see a white person.
