No homes are burglar-proof, but you have reduced the opportunity. Your investment of time, energy and resources was well worth it. Every five seconds someone wishes he had practiced crime prevention. Traditionally, most of us have regarded our home as a castle, a refuge and a place safe from the intrusions of crime in the streets. But your home may not be as safe as you think.
Residential burglary is a real and present danger.
You may not recognize the typical burglar. He's often one of the neighborhood kids, a young male who usually lives within a mile or two of his targets, but not always. He is usually an opportunist and an amateur but that doesn't mean he can't find his way into your home. He selects homes he can enter quickly and quietly, and exit with a minimum risk of detection. This is the equivalent of one out of every 12 households.
