  • Most burglars don't carry equipment - Burglars are professional opportunists with experience in breaking into homes, they know the exact signs to look out for when choosing a target.

  • 47% of burglaries are 'spur of the moment' - Shockingly a recent report found that convicted burglars said almost half of all their crimes were committed without being planned before hand.

  • The majority of burglaries are committed by someone living close to you - It's a scary thing to think about but the reality is that the typical burglar will usually live within 2 miles of the targeted home. It's great to have neighbours that you trust but try to be careful of those who can easily find out your daily schedule.

  • Someone is home in around 64% of burglaries - It's one of the most traumatic things to think about but someone is typically home in nearly 6.4 out of every 10 burglaries.
