According to the findings of the National Burglar and Fire
Alarm Association, of all home burglaries reported in the U.S. during 2012,
non-professional burglars performed 85% of them.
Non-professional burglars are known for being highly dangerous and
aggressive, especially when in your home.
Our Bulldog Bar Team has created a list
of 10 tips for you if, God Forbid, your home is ever broken into.
If you come
home to find an unexplained open/broken window or door:
1) Do not enter your home - the perpetrator may still be inside.
2) Use your cell phone or a neighbor's phone to call the police.
3) Do not touch anything or clean up until the police have
inspected for evidence.
4) Note the descriptions of any suspicious persons to the police.
5) Write down the license plate numbers of any suspicious vehicles
and pass it along to the police.
6) Keep a detailed inventory of your valuable possessions... including
a description of the items, date of purchase, original value, and serial
numbers. Keep a copy of these details in a safe place away from home - this is
a good precaution in case of fires or other disasters. Make a photographic or
video record of valuable objects, heirlooms and antiques. Your insurance
company can provide assistance in making and keeping your inventory.
Home and renters
insurance is definitely well worth the investment if anything were ever to
happen.
7) Be a good neighbor. If you notice anything suspicious in your
neighborhood, call 911 immediately.
8) Mark your valuables with your driver's license number with an
engraver. Marked items are harder for a burglar to dispose of and easier for
police to recover.
9) Form a neighborhood watch group. City and county police
departments can help you work with your neighbors to improve security and
reduce risk of burglary.
10) Consider installing a burglar alarm system in your home, and
always set your alarm upon leaving your home or going to bed. Also, always lock
your windows and doors when leaving your home going to bed. You may also want to consider installing extra window locks and replacing screen
glass doors with more secure doors.
Also, always keep your garage door closed and locked when you are home or away. It is extremely important to call the police to report a crime or any other suspicious activity when it occurs. You have to be the eyes of your neighborhood and remember, you can always remain a pair of anonymous eyes!

Police are constantly working with tips and data to catch
burglars, so your information is important in keeping burglars from doing more
damage to homes and families.
Renters and homeowners may not be able to avoid a given burglary,
but they can try to be as prepared as possible in case that day comes.
The Bulldog Bar wants to educate all of you renters and homeowners to help
you avoid becoming a burglary statistic.
