Not everyone has the opportunity to witness how devastating a burglary can be first hand. As a result, many families simply don’t invest in home security. Arming your property with a home security system usually does not become a priority until you experience the emotional strain, the feelings of being unsafe, and all the frustration of being a victim of a burglary. You may think that this sort of scenario is uncommon. Unfortunately, the opposite is true.
Home security is all about taking preventative measures against a surprisingly common event. Every year, one in six homes will experience a burglary. You may think that this sounds absurd, but the reality is that many burglars are able to take valuable items from several homes very quickly, spending an average of just one minute in each home. Nonetheless, each one of these thefts results in over $1,500 US in losses. That doesn’t even count the loss of time that victims experience in dealing with the burglary after the fact.
Literally billions of dollars are lost to burglaries on an annual basis. This is largely because so many homeowners don’t invest in home security. Any home without a home security system is about three times as likely to experience a burglary. Burglars targeted over 2.3 million homes in 2009 alone.
Three out of every five burglaries happens in broad daylight. There is not a safe time of day, and without appropriate home security, your property is vulnerable. To prevent a burglary, take basic precautions like keeping your doors and windows locked, lighting your entryways at night, and avoiding hiding any key outside your home. Making sure that you don’t have excessive “hiding spots” that would appeal to a burglar is also important. The most fool proof way to prevent burglaries is installing a home security system that uses consistent monitoring.
