Taking Advantage of the Situation: Common Flaws You Should Fix to Prevent Home Burglary


A man's home is always considered his castle...but one cannot consider it a castle if it is easily breached by burglars who know your defenses are weak and easily challenged.

Improving and upgrading those defenses would, of course, make your castle less attractive to a burglar...thereby turning his (or her) attention more to the easy pickings in your neighborhood.

The myth about having a relatively safe neighborhood is an illusion. 

They don't exist anymore nowadays and of course there is always "the first time things happen."

That's why we at The Bulldog Bar have 5 things homeonwners should know about... that can make burglars one step ahead:

1. Doors that are kept unlocked all the time, just like your car with keys left inside of it...can make for easy entry. Always lock your doors, no matter how safe your neighborhood may seem!

2. If you live in 2 story house, any accessible avenues like tree branches, wall lattice work, your own ladder or anything that could help or extend their reach. Be sure to stay in-the-know about when your landscaping is due for proper maintenance...not just because it keeps your property in looking nice, but because it can prevent residential break-ins!

3. Poor lighting around the house, tall or untrimmed trees or shrubbery, blind spots on covered patios and extra dark corners or walkways can make for useful hiding spots when it comes to home invaders. That's why we at The Bulldog Bar urge you to utilize automatic timers on your lights, especially if you arrive at home at irregular hours each night.

4. Some attached garages are a burglar's delight...that's because they tend to be hidden from everyone's view, including your neighbors across the street (which means that would be an easy access to your kitchen). Investing in proper home security products can prevent this type of break-in from taking place at your "castle."

5. Having a dog running around the house could be a deterrent, but could sometimes be a nightmare to neighbors when kept outside. Although pets can sometimes make efficient "alert devices" for suspicious activity on your property, sometimes they are just not enough to keep burglars out of your home (not to mention the fact that they can be quite a disturbance to those who live close to you).

So there you have it... Based on former burglar confessions, the cover of darkness can be heaven for them...which is why The Bulldog Bar Squad urges you to keep your motion detector lights out of reach so thieves can't easily disable them...

During daylight, however, their targets can be your doors and windows, which are not visible. Some experienced burglars may even show up as a "repair man" in a van, pretending they are on a service call (so be vigilant!).

To sum things up: Before you leave your house for work, be sure to check your front door & back door, making sure all windows are secured.

Hopefully one major help to watch your house when you are away will be the neighborhood kids, since they will be out playing when schools are out.

But to ensure your residence is safe from criminals kicking in your doors, invest in The Bulldog Bar 's newest home security product TODAY.
