very rate for stolen good to be returned to their rightful
owners.

it, in fact – they often do a lot of damage such as
breaking the windows and destroying electronics

4. Is There a “Typical” Burglar?
It isn’t a good thing to generalize anyone, but statistics
do show that a “typical” burglar is a male teen.
However, statistics show that this person usually lives
not too far away from the home that they are robbing
so that they can quickly get to safety and hide if things
go wrong.

5. A Few “Interesting” Statistics
 We often think that burglaries happen at night, yet
statistics show that over 60% of burglaries happen
during daytime.
 Around 45% of all burglaries happen between 10 AM
and 3 PM.
 Cash, jewelry and electronics are the top things that
thieves will look for. Weapons are also very valuable
to them and if one ever gets stolen immediately
report it to the police!

6. How Do They Get In?

7. 3 Simple Precautions
Number 1: Burglars always search for homes that
seem unoccupied (for example, if the homeowners are
on vacation) and thus your home should always seem
“dynamic”. Don’t let newspapers and main pile up and
always leave a porch light on during the evening!

8. 3 Simple Precautions
Number 2: While burglars spend around 8 to 15
minutes inside a home, they don’t want to spend more
than 60 seconds trying to get in. Powerful
locks, deadbolt mechanics, camera, alarms and strong
doors can prevent them from taking their time to get
inside.

Number 3: Clear all shrubs and branches – don’t give
burglars any help in hiding!
