Break and Enter - catch them before they get in your door...
- Most burglars are lazy: They like to get into a house the same way you do - by walking through a door. And a door is the easiest way for them to get out with what they have stolen.
| After doors, windows are the next most likely target. So, even if you do nothing else to secure your home, adding security measures to your doors and windows needs to be your primary concern. 80% of break-ins occur through a locked door, and 60% come right through your front door. |

Daytime burglaries
Are you less concerned about burglary during the day? Do you leave any doors or windows unlocked during the day? Do you ever leave the house to go next door, down the block or to the store during the day and leave a door unlocked?
Today, daytime burglaries happen as often as nighttime burglaries. Burglaries are more likely to occur between the hours of 9 AM and 3 PM in the afternoon. This is the time neighborhoods are empty. The children are in school, moms are at work, shopping or involved in civic work. This is a perfect time for a burglar to do his work without being noticed. |
What's better than an alarm system
that catches a burglar in the act?
One that prevents the burglar from ever trying to rob you. A would-be intruder is much more likely to go to the house on your street without a home security system than one with. And, by letting them know you're protected you may stop the burglary before they ever break-in to your home. Lawn signs are our first line of defense in home security.
By letting the criminal know you're protected, you lower the chances that they will take risk setting off the home security alarm. In the event of an actual break-in a monitored home security system is the only way to ensure that help is on the way. Your lawn sign is just one line of defense in your home security.
