Melissa decided on the spot that she was moving out. The property lost a great rent-paying tenant. The majority of burglaries are committed during the day when most people are at work or at school, so that the burglar does not run into anyone. Most burglars are looking for things that are small, expensive and can be very easily converted in to cash. The others have their property broken into.
Burglars know that the back door and the garage doors are the easiest to get into.
Sliding glass doors are often left open for pet access or can be easily opened because the latching mechanism faces a significant amount of use and does not latch properly. The aluminum latches can become worn or lose adjustment. Blocking devices, such as a wood or metal block will keep the door from being pried open. Keeping the door rollers adjusted and in good condition plus the installation of a pin that extends through both the sliding and the fixed portion of the door will keep a burglar from lifting the door out of the frame. Windows are also left open and very easy to break into.
