Most homeowners simply don’t have the capacity to think like hardened criminals. That’s a good thing, but it also means many of us have “blind spots” when it comes to gaps in home security. Simply put, we don’t see houses the way burglars do.
You’ll probably never be able to look at your own home as if you are thinking about breaking into it, but here are a few things a robber would definitely take notice of…
How Well-Lit is the Property?
Thieves prefer lowly-lit properties to homes with lots of lights. It gives them more of a chance to slip in and out without being seen.
Are There Any Signs of Security?
Obviously, robbers don’t want to see signs of cameras or modern alarm systems. They prefer easier targets that present less of a risk of being caught.
What About Other Complicating Factors?
The presence of a huge snarling dog, or running lights or televisions could indicate someone is at home and awake. They would prefer to avoid any confrontation.
Is the Home Being Taken Care of?
The perfect break-in target is a home where no one has been around – or will be – for several days or weeks. Piled up newspapers, un-shoveled snow, and lots of flyers are dead giveaways.
