There have been reports of many home burglaries in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Tulsan police have discovered that burglars and thieves have a new simple tactic up their sleeves: disarming the home security system.

The burglars first see to it that no one is home by knocking on the doors. When they’re sure that the house is empty of its residents, they go around the property to find the electric box and cut the wires. The power is cut and your home security system is disarmed, leaving your home free to be ripped off of valuables.

The police department are advising everyone to take extra precautions and backup security plans. A battery back up that lasts for more at least 4 hours and a cell phone back up are a great help. And, as usual, always lock the doors, windows, garage, and sheds. Keep your home well lit, and don’t leave anything outside your home that will potentially help a burglar or thief enter your home.
