Countless houses are without security and will be easier than your to break into once you invest in a wireless burglar alarm.

3. In spite of what the main stream media may want you to believe, over half of all burglars are white and almost all of burglars are male. So do not fall prey to racism and think that you are safe because you live in a no ethnically diverse area. Burglaries happen everywhere and are committed by people from all walks of life, so prepare accordingly.

4. Be careful when you purchase new items for your home because you recycling may be an advertisement to potential burglary.
