While many people believe that burglaries happen in the dead of night, they\u2019re actually more common during the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typically, the majority of break-ins occur between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. The common misconception is that burglars want the cover of night to break into homes, but they\u2019re actually prioritizing the time when it\u2019s least likely for a person to be home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As far as where these burglaries are happening, California and Texas had the highest number of burglaries by a large margin in 2020. While California and Texas had a combined 254,380 burglaries, Florida and North Carolina had a total of 102,245, yet were the third and fourth most burgled states respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-are-the-common-behaviors-of-burglars\"><strong>What are the Common Behaviors of Burglars?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When trying to protect your home from possible <a href=\"https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/how-to-prevent-home-invasion\/\">break-ins<\/a>, it\u2019s helpful to know the behaviors of burglars. Some of the important questions you should ask when looking to improve your home security include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What are the most common entry points for burglars?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How long is the typical burglary?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do dogs actually prevent burglaries?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does home security even help?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"185\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/burglary-statistics-for-2022-185x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1966\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/burglary-statistics-for-2022-185x1024.png 185w, https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/burglary-statistics-for-2022-54x300.png 54w, https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/burglary-statistics-for-2022-768x4247.png 768w, https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/burglary-statistics-for-2022-370x2048.png 370w, https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/burglary-statistics-for-2022.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 185px) 100vw, 185px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kgw.com\/article\/news\/investigations\/we-asked-86-burglars-how-they-broke-into-homes\/344213396\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">In one survey<\/a>, convicted burglars were surveyed about their behaviors, and 100% of them said that they knocked on the front door before breaking in. They also said they avoided homes that had a large dog. So, even if your pup is friendly, they might just be keeping your home safer than you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once burglars have scoped out a home, 23% of them entered through a first-floor window, and 22% entered through a back door. Surprisingly, 34%of burglars say they enter through unlocked front doors. Once they enter, they often spend less than 10 minutes in the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-simple-tips-to-protect-your-home-from-burglaries\"><strong>3 Simple Tips to Protect Your Home From Burglaries<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you know a little more about burglars and their behaviors, here are some simple ways for you to protect your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Always Lock Up<\/strong> <strong>&#8211;<\/strong> This might be the easiest way to prevent burglaries. As you\u2019ve learned, more than a third of burglars enter through unlocked front doors.&nbsp; Hence, it\u2019s important to make a habit of always locking windows and doors before leaving your property.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Get Cameras<\/strong> <strong>&#8211;<\/strong> Thanks to the benefits of new technologies like smartphones and web-based services, we have better visual evidence of when break-ins are happening.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Use Dummy Cameras &#8211; <\/strong>While <a href=\"https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/turn-old-phones-into-security-cameras\/\">using old cell phones for surveillance<\/a> is a far wiser option for securing your home, you can also use fake cameras to protect your home. <a href=\"https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/best-fake-security-cameras\/#Do_Fake_Security_Cameras_Work\">In a previous post<\/a>, we discussed one study that showed that visual signs of security may help decrease the likelihood of a break-in, much like how the presence of a dog can potentially deter break-ins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s always better to be safe than sorry; by having homeowners or renters insurance, you can have a little peace of mind that if a break-in were to occur, you\u2019d be covered. In the event of a burglary, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/renters\" rel=\"nofollow\">theft insurance<\/a> can help compensate you for stolen belongings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a combination of just a little bit of security, insurance, and maybe even a pet, you can rest easy and not worry as much about break-ins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recommended reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/new-homeowners-security-checklist\/\">The New Homeowner\u2019s Security Checklist: 8 Things You Need To Do<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Optimism bias can make us neglect potential security risks.
