Burglary is very common around the nation. There are about 4-5 burglaries in homes every minute, so you naturally would want to know how you can avoid becoming the next homeowner that has to go through that experience. Fortunately, there are a lot of statistics that will help you figure out safe behaviors – what to do and what to avoid.
A major mistake that many homeowners are guilty of is posting vacations on social media. While it is exciting to post pictures of you enjoying the beach, sadly, many crimes are committed by acquaintances of the person, so you might want to wait until you return home to post those pictures.
If you are away for a longer period of time, you should also have someone care for the lawn in the summer, the driveway in the winter, as well as, pick up your mail so it isn’t obvious no one is home. You could even get timers set up on your lights so that they will turn on and off at different times.
