What a Burglar's eyes see.... 

Believe me and the Police he is watching!

It doesn't matter if you've been away for a few hours, for the day, for the weekend, or for an extended holiday.

It takes burglars only a few moments to smash their way into your home, check the predictable places for valuables, and be on their way again. You are left not only with the physical loss and inconvenience, but also with a sense that your privacy and your home have been violated by strangers.

That's what happened to members of this family. Returning home from work, they found their front door kicked in and several rooms ransacked. Missing was a large amount of cash they were saving for a vacation. Even their daughter's piggy bank and their son's coin collection were gone.

Here's how the home looked to the family.

The Burglar Noted!

This house was just asking to be burglarized. I first noticed it two weeks ago, and I've passed it several times since then, just waiting for an opportunity. They could have made it a lot harder, a lot less inviting. Let me show you what I saw when I checked the house out as a potential target.

Here's what the crook saw.

Make it difficult

Making your home more secure is an investment in your property and safety. Through the use of basic crime prevention techniques, you can increase the likelihood that a burglar will bypass your home. By installing secure locks, hinges, doors and lighting, you may well avert loss!

Easy access is a burglar's ally—they do not want to be seen, heard or delayed. Burglars want to minimize their risk while maximizing their profit. They know common weak points in home security and take advantage of them.

Adding a burglar alarm or home security system is one way of helping to ensure that the chances of your home being broken into are greatly reduced. But at the end of the day, it will also provide you with peace of mind that you would not have if you did not take appropriate measures to ensure that your home is secure.

Around a third of all burglaries occur because the burglar or intruder has been able to gain access to your home through a back window or a door. However, by installing locks to these areas, you can help to prevent a burglar from gaining access to your home.

Hopefully the ideas we have provided in this book will help you to find ways for improving your home security. This, in turn, will not only make your home secure, but ensure that those who dwell inside are safe and secure also.

Many burglars today are opportunistic, and they will look for homes that they feel offer them the best opportunity to get in and out of without being seen. So it is important that you take time to look at your property as if you were a burglar, and make improvements to those areas of your home which you feel may offer a burglar with the most opportunities to break into your home.
