I don’t think it’s my imagination but the number of home burglaries that are making the news is on the rise. And home invasions are on the increase too. Home invasion is a much more serious crime than a home burglary because it is committed by two or more people specifically when the homeowners are at home.
Home burglary, on the other hand, is done usually by one person when the homeowners are not home. Home invaders are usually armed and don’t think twice about threats or bodily harm to the occupants. A home burglar, on the other hand, operates by himself and is never armed.
Home burglaries are on the increase for two simple reasons. The economy is bad and so many people are out of work. Desperate people do desperate things like burglarizing homes. The second reason is homeowners make it so simple to break into their homes. Did you know that 60% of home burglaries happen through unlocked doors and windows?
Home invaders get into your home right through the front door in 90% of the cases. They simply knock on the door and count on your reflexive opening of the door without checking to see who is there. A big mistake!
If you use this Home Security Camera at your front door, once you hook it up you can actually see who is at your front door on your TV screen. It also has a built-in microphone so you can hear what’s going on. For less than $150.00 you can make major home security improvement.
And please lock your doors and windows even when you are at home.
