A very large part of home ownership is having good home security. This comes with using common steps and knowing how to preempt a burglar’s attack. But before that, you must know how burglars get in your home.
They Remain Inconspicuous
The vast majority of burglars don’t enter a person’s home looking for trouble. They would like to avoid confrontations and arrests so they will target homes with very little lighting in the home and around the property. To avoid this from happening, it is wise to keep your area lighted sufficiently.
They Do Their Best Work Around the Holidays
Ever seen the “Home Alone” movies? There are plenty of burglars just like that who are waiting for the holiday season to strike. It really is like Christmas morning for them. They will wait until families leave their homes for the holidays when they know the home is not secure.
They Find Good Hiding Spots
Tall shrubbery surrounding the front of your home makes for great hiding spots for burglars. This could also be a prime waiting spot for them, monitoring the movement to and from your home. With the ability to hide and wait for long periods of time, they will be able to know the exact moment to rob your home.
They Look for Easy Openings
Burglars like homes with easy entrances. If it is a warm spring day and you keep the windows open at night, it is an invitation for a burglar to enter. They will also look for spare key places such as flower pots, under the welcome mat, and in the mailbox.
