Burglars are Becoming More Brazen What Can You
Do About It?

• Statistics have shown that burglars throughout
  the U.S. and indeed, the world over, are becoming
  much more brazen in their methods, and will often
  stop at nothing to break into peoples homes and
  businesses and take what doesnt belong to them.
  The evidence shows that burglars are now
  increasingly
• Arming themselves
• A burglar with a weapon is a frightening
  prospect, and while not all intruders come armed,
  more are choosing to do so.

• Targeting the vulnerable
• While the weak and vulnerable have always been
  prone to attacks from criminals such as burglars
  and intruders, the evidence shows that
  individuals are going to greater lengths to
  research their victims and target those who will
  be most susceptible, in increasingly cruel and
  heartless ways.
• Striking in broad daylight
• Bold burglars are so desperate to get their hands
  on your valuables, that they no longer have the
  patience to wait until nightfall to break into
  peoples homes, and are striking during daylight
  hours. Some pose as delivery people or
  tradespeople, and are even as brazen as to knock
  on doors and convince the homeowner to let them
  inside the property.

• Going to greater lengths
• While we might all associate burglars with the
  lower, less educated classes, the reality is that
  criminals are becoming more cunning and going to
  greater lengths than ever before to develop house
  breaking skills, and their efforts are often
  going rewarded.
• Carrying out serial crimes
• Repeat offenders are becoming more and more
  common, and oftentimes, a property will be
  targeted more than once in a matter of weeks, or
  even days, by exactly the same criminals.

• Working in teams
• Its bad enough to think of one burglar breaking
  into someones home or business, but to think
  that they might be operating in gangs, is a scary
  thought. According to police reports, criminals
  are often working together to create scams that
  distract victims while an accomplice carries out
  a raid on their home.

• What can you do to protect yourself from brazen
  burglars?
• Certain security measures may act as a deterrent
  for some burglars, such as motion sensor lights
  (or permanent exterior lights), CCTV camera
  systems and burglar alarms, while for the utterly
  brazen, they may just be seen as a challenge.
  What this means is that to give you and your home
  the very best protection, you need to have a
  multi-layered security system that incorporates
  all of the aforementioned, with the addition of a
  high security safe for your most valuable
  possessions, high security locks on all doors and
  all windows (at least on the ground floor) and
  modern tech such as doorbell monitoring systems.
