It is said that one of the easiest crimes to prevent
is also the most common, burglary. The home is a safe haven that seems
impenetrable. Because of this, most people do not take the proper precautions
when it comes to removing their home as a target from thieves. When the home
feels safe, some think that nothing bad could ever happen there, or that their
family could never fall victim to a burglary. Another reason some people shy
away from home security action is they think it will break the bank. Yes, home
security systems can be expensive, but there are cost conscious and even free
ways to keep your home safe and secure. Whatever the reason may be for someone
as to why home security is not a priority, I would like to make a point on why
it is.
Costly
While you may be covered by insurance, having
someone enter your home could be costly, figuratively and literally. You are
ending up with more money loss than you would if there had been a little
expense put toward home security efforts. You are left with broken windows or
doors, as well as possible damage within the home, and your expensive
belongings or valuables have been taken. Yes most items can be replaced, but
then there are the extreme valuables within the home. A burglar can take
something that is priceless and irreplaceable, like a family heirloom. It is
only when those precious things are stolen that there are things that cannot be
replaced.
No
Peace
After a break in, the family is left without peace
of mind. The biggest shift is not that belongings were taken but that the safe
sanctuary was tainted. The home goes from the safest place in the world to the complete
opposite at the snap of a finger. Your children will no longer feel safe and
neither will you. The aftermath could potentially create psychological problems
for you and your family. A home should always be a safe place and security precautions
should not be implemented after a home has been forcefully entered.
It
Won’t Happen to Us
Statistics say that a burglary happens every fifteen
seconds. With that fact, the chance of a home being invaded just became
realistically possible. Even the littlest of efforts to having your home not
catch a burglar’s eye is important. A security system sign, closed curtains,
locked and dead bolted doors are all little things that could dissuade a
burglar from targeting your home. The
slightest bit of caution can make the biggest difference. Most burglars are looking
for easy targets.
The psychological aftermath and the risk of losing
irreplaceable items are the two main reasons that some form of home security
should be put into place in any home. How often burglaries occur is another risk
that most home owners should not be willing to take with their homes. It is
encouraged of anyone to look at the website
for Seattle home security or any city’s security website for
all of the best home security technologies and tips. Don’t be the target of the
next burglary in fifteen seconds. Make sure to keep you home a safe sanctuary
for you and your family.
You have to be on your guard at all times now day's. I keep our doors locked all the time, same with my car. Last summer one of the Slum Lords that lives two blocks down the street from us rented his place out to some druggies. I am working on getting them out the neighborhood real soon, talking with other neighbors right now. In the mean time I have 6 shot guns and a hand gun in the house and am not afraid of using them if I have to. You always have to remember it's either going to be your life or theirs. ( Not going to be mine )
