Statistics don’t lie. Well, they can, but in this case, they sound scarily accurate. According to the latest FBI stats, here in America a burglary is committed on average every 15 seconds. If you’d rather not become a stat, there are quite a few things you can do (whether you’re in a house or an apartment). Some of them, like locking doors or asking your neighbors to keep an eye on your place, are free. Others, like installing a sophisticated alarm system, can be moderately priced to downright expensive.
But whether cheap or dear, your home and its possessions - and most of all, the safety of your loved ones - is vital.
