Do you keep your yard tidy and well-trimmed, or do you have the tendency to allow it to become a bit overgrown and unkempt? What would you say if you found out that a well-kept yard could be the difference between whether or not your home was the target of a burglary?
Most people would never think that the appearance of their yard could affect the safety of their home, but this is just one of several security missteps taken by the average homeowner. A burglary occurs every 18 seconds in the United States, which means nearly 1.7 million burglaries take place each year. While some of them were likely unavoidable, chances are that many of them could have been prevented had the victims been more knowledgeable about their home security in advance.
Can you imagine saving $4 billion? That is the value of the property lost in burglaries each year. When you weigh the risk of what you might lose against the cost of taking a few extra precautions now, the additional security measures are well worth the investment.
The Mr. Rekey DIY Home Security Guide covers all the basics of burglary and shows you how to protect your home without breaking the bank. It outlines what not to do in order to have a safer home and offers do-it-yourself tips and tricks to burglar-proofing your home that are easy and affordable. Don’t let a burglary happen to you; take these simple steps to a safer home today.
