You hear of read about it almost every day. Crime statistics show that a home is broken into almost every 13 seconds. Here are a few things you can do to make sure it doesn’t happen to you.
1. Harden the Target- Lock your doors. As easy as it sounds, some people still keep their doors unlocked. Use a heavy-duty deadbolt with a one inch throw bolt. When you move into a new house or apartment, change the door locks. If you have a sliding glass door, install a wooden dowel or stick into the door track to prevent movement.
2. Install an alarm system- Burglars will usually bypass a home that they believe has a sophisticated burglar alarm. Home security statistics tell us that an audible horn or siren must be part of the system. Not only can this deter a criminal, you may be eligible for discounts on your Florida Home Insurance policy.
