Many people believe that burglars can enter anywhere they like and therefore feel unsafe in their own homes.
Stop worrying. According to the police, burglaries are seldom committed by well-equipped professionals. In the majority of cases, casual thieves take advantage of unsecured entrances of all kinds and therefore can be put off by good technology and door security measures.

Should you belong to the less anxious contemporaries, you might be acquainted with the following statements:

You would be amazed what burglars will take. Apart from that, burglars don't usually know much about your wealth, until they have broken in and have searched your house. By that time, he may have caused damage to things of sentimental value to you. You should also not underestimate the psychological effects of this kind of experience. The feeling of destroyed privacy and that of insecurity in their own homes might be a burden for many people for a long time.
So: If an opportunity comes up, the burglar will take it.

Darkness is only one aspect favoured by burglars, not only at night, but also during the wintertime, when it's getting dark early. Anotherone, is the certainty that nobody is at home. This normally occurs during the day, when you are at work, shopping or taking the children to school.

That’s good, but do your neighbours know all of your friends and family, the man from the parcel service and the pizza boy? Have you ever stopped somebody you don’t know in the house where you live and asked what she/he was doing there? Unfortunately, anonymity cannot be completely avoided in large apartment blocks. Burglars know that, and take advantage of it.

Really? It often turns out much too late that a policy doesn’t cover everything. You thought insured or even worse, that there is no cover at all, due to an error.
But let’s assume everything is fine: still, nobody will replace your valuable or sentimental belongings or will compensate you for the chaos that the burglar may have left in your home.

Please don’t! The burglar will try to do everything in order to remain undiscovered or to escape. And he will have less scruples than you in doing so. Never play the hero, you'd better call the police immediately.
A detailed description of the culprit and/or his getaway car might help more in getting him/her.

Burglary alarm systems might put the burglar off, but they don't prevent burglaries.
That is why, you should consider providing your doors with mechanical multi-point locking devices.
