Burglary is considered as a crime of opportunity, wherein a thief would just randomly pick a house and break in to do his business.

More than 50 percent of home burglaries occur because door are left unlocked and windows are left opened. It has been reiterated now and again to lock all doors and windows, even if you’re inside the house. There are burglars who could just walk by your windows, reach inside and take what he can.

Home security systems and devices are recommended, of course. They help in detecting suspicious movement, and at most deter burglars and thieves. Even simple and natural things like shrubberies and bushes, sensors, and cameras on your lawn and backyard can help.

For jewelries and valuables, home safes are preferred.
