Every 23 seconds, a home is burglarized by brazen and opportunistic crooks. As the result of such burglaries, the average victim is out of $2,000. Circumstances surrounding break-ins are in contrast with our gut instincts and proves that criminals are conniving as they are clever in robbing you of your valuables.
While national crime data reveals an overall down-tick in home invasions, your vigilance in protecting your valuables and loved ones should be trending up.
When do most break-ins take place?
Most burglaries occur during the day when a home’s occupants are at school or work. Contrary to popular belief, these break-ins typically take place during the summer months when activity outside the home is buzzing, which would typically deter even the boldest of perpetrators. Intruders are also more likely to strike homes surrounded by other residences as opposed to homes located on the corner.
Where do most home invasions and burglaries occur?
Believe it or not, the most vulnerable security points in your home are the most common of egresses. While almost all doors and windows are lockable, many neglectful homeowners ignore common sense in failing to double check their locks and security systems. Criminals are lazy by nature. They don’t want to work for anything they have, so why wouldn’t they take the path of least resistance in carrying out their devious schemes? With a rise in burglaries, vigilance is a must.
Protect your home, valuables with an above ground safe room
So what do these nefarious criminals go after when they breach your home’s security systems? Most criminal investigators are in agreement concerning each crook’s projected bath: they head straight from the bedroom. In your most intimate setting, burglars sift through your most precious and personal belongings as they search for cash, jewelry and even prescription drugs from your medicine cabinet. Gun cabinets and safes are also common go-to spots for crooks.
So how can you protect your valuables? The answer is surprisingly simple: a steel safe room or panic room.
Steel protection today, prevents police reports tomorrow
An initial investment in either an above ground or subterranean bunker could save you thousands in the long haul, once you factor in the potential loss of property and damage rendered to your home as the result of a break-in. All units have are customizeable, which affords you the option of multi-locking deadbolt security systems to protect you from the most determined of criminals.
Outsmart clever crooks with modular safe rooms
Crooks are always looking for an easy score. They don’t want to spend precious seconds scouring your home for a few hundred dollar bills. If it’s not in plain sight or requires a lot off effort, they are likely to give up and move to the next room to steal something as quickly as possible. A modular safe room for existing structures can seamlessly blend into your home’s floor plan. By cleverly disguising the safe room as just another ordinary room, they will forget about whatever contents are inside once they discover they can’t bypass the multi-point locking system.
A safe room can double as a gun cabinet, jewelry safe
Today’s safe rooms and storm bunkers aren’t just for saving human lives or preventing burglaries. While perfect for evading threats both domestic and natural, our impenetrable units can also double as storage lockers for weapons, jewelry, cash and important, as well as sensitive documents and contracts. These units also come in two-hour and four-hour fire protection, so you won’t have to worry about any of those worst-case scenarios playing out in your mind.
