Homes on a corner lot are more likely to be burglarized.
If your home has had a burglary, the odds of being burglarized again dramatically increase. The stolen items have been replaced with new items.
Homes without security systems are about 3 times more likely to be broken into than homes with security systems.
Most homes are burglarized by someone who lives within 2 miles of the house.
The majority of burglaries occur between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. , when kids and parents are out of the house and fewer people are in the neighborhood.
Typically, burglars spend less than 60 seconds breaking into a home. The more difficult it is to gain access, the more likely a burglar is to reconsider the attack.
It's estimated that 74% of uncompleted intrusions can be credited to an audible alarm.
Most convicted burglars said they want to avoid homes with alarm systems and said if they did encounter an alarm, they would likely abandon the attack on the home.
