Neighborhoods of all types are vulnerable to home invasions. This type of crime is traumatic for victims because home is no longer a safe haven. The law classifies a burglary as a crime where the victim finds out later that personal belongings have been taken. A robbery involves the victim as a witness to the events. Too many people believe they have a satisfactory plan to deal with someone who enters the house uninvited. The truth is that few individuals are able to use a physical weapon against another human being

I can remember a time right here in South Florida, when it was not an uncommon thing to hear someone say that they usually leave their doors unlocked or even leave their cars unlocked because they truly had no concern for anyone entering their home or stealing anything from their car. Oh sure there were break ins back in the day but for the most part people felt safe in their homes and their cities. You could turn on the news and would not hear one story after another about murder and robbery just down your block.

If you have lived in South Florida for more than 30 years then you will be able to not only understand this article but also totally agree with it. You see back in those days if you told someone you were purchasing a residential alarm system, they would probably ask why. The normal response was to ask if you had something out of the ordinary to protect because for the most part, no one had a residential alarm system. Alarm systems were mainly for business owners and industrial locations.

ADT Security Services (ADT) was founded in 1874 by Robert Roebling Clowry as American District Telegraph. At the time, ADT was a consolidation of 57 different telegraph companies. Through the years, the business went through different ownership and business concentrations as technology advanced. In the 1920s and 1930s, they began to specialize in things such as fire and burglar alarms. At the time, the company was run by AT&T. In the 1960s, it became publicly owned and started to provide home alarm services in large cities, such as New York City. In 1997, the company was purchased by Tyco International. Over the last 130-plus years, ADT has branched to over 30 different countries and employees tens of thousands of people.

It is not a surprise that all law enforcement agencies agree that the number one way to protect your house without a doubt is by getting a monitored home security system. The fact of just having a sign that indicates that you own an alarm is many times a deterrent in itself for a would-be burglar to go somewhere else for an attempted break in. Home alarm systems have become so inexpensive in the past ten years that every home by now should have one. Twenty years ago any home security system would cost no less than five hundred dollars, and that would be for a basic system not including more than three doors and one motion sensor. However today you can get a complete installation covering all of your door and windows and several motion detectors for as little as 99 dollars. Even though home security systems have become extremely affordable many people still feel they don’t need one. Well to those people I say don’t wait for me to say I told you so because without an alarm system you are ten times more likely to become a victim of a break in. If you still feel you don’t need one or feel you just can’t afford one then the next best thing all law enforcement agencies recommend is to install good locks on all your doors and possibly even tour windows.

Residents all around the country today have lost that sense of security and are more aware of possible intruders and burglaries than ever before.

With that in mind, this article is intended to cover the most popular and recommended ways of protecting your home from an attempted burglary.
