Most people think it will never happen to them – an intruder, someone breaking into their home, trying to steal everything that is valuable and may not be replaceable – and even more importantly, someone invading YOUR privacy possibly looking to harm you and your loved ones.
Sounds far fetched…..it cannot happen to me…..not in my neighborhood……..anyway, I have a DOG!
Home invasions is a horrific and growing type of crime that few people ever expect to happen to them and are often times ill prepared for it if this unfortunate incidence does strikes them.
Everyone has recently heard of a home invasion or a burglary, maybe someone you even know – just watch the 11 o’clock news, pick up a paper (do people actually read newspapers anymore?) or turn on the radio and you cannot avoid hearing of such unfortunate stories. We all are shocked and disgusted by this violent and disturbing invasion of one’s ultimate safety zone- their home.
But we STILL believe it can’t happen to me!
Maybe it’s just human nature wanting to believe bad things like this won’t happen to me – sort of living in some type of ‘bubble’.
But it does happen….and way too often.
And it’s no longer a crime that simply happens just in the ‘big cities’. Stories in hometown, local newspapers, TV and radio (and yes even read about on the internet) are commonplace. People shouldn’t live in fear but everyone should be wise enough and know how to prepare and hopefully prevent such attacks to occur within their homes.
FACT: A residence is broken into somewhere in the United States
every 10 seconds according to “Uniform Crime reports” U.S. Department of Justice.
FACT: Houses without alarms are 3 times more likely to have a burglar break-in.
FACT: The chances of a burglar break-in are highest when you move into a new home.
FACT: Insurance companies provide on average a 10 – 24% discount off of their homeowner insurance premiums for those for those with monitored security systems (not the main reason to better protect your home but does have a positive financial upside).
FACT: Contrary to popular belief, a burglar doesn’t only work at night. They are lazy and prefer to do their ‘work’ between
9:30 A.M. and 4 P.M. when most people are working and you are aren’t there to protect your home and children.
FACT: Homes using security systems are less burglarized than homes with dogs (exactly my point!), exterior lights, deadbolts, window bars and cars in the driveway.
Burglaries and home invasions are among the most ‘personal’ of crimes, shattering any feeling of safety and security families for many years even after the crime. With the rise in these types of crimes it’s important to learn what you can do to best safeguard your home and family.
