Put Home Safety to the Test: A Quiz About Your Burglary Knowledge

Think home burglary is a crime that hardly ever takes place?

Well The Bulldog Bar squad has news for you...

Each year in the U.S., this type of theft is not exactly a rare occurrence. In fact during 2005 alone, more than 2 million homes were broken into, resulting in the loss of an average $1,725 in property and invaluable peace of mind. 

You may probably take steps to minimize your risk of falling victim to thieves already, but home security can sometimes be a confusing maze of choices. 

That's why The Bulldog Bar wants you to test your home security knowledge (with just 3 questions) to find out whether your dwelling is a fool-proof fortress...or an easy target for crooks!

Home Security Question #1: When do most burglaries occur?
If you answered, "during the day" you are correct.
While the cover of darkness is a big plus, burglars actually strike homes more often in the daytime. According to the FBI, for all residential burglaries with a known time of day in 2005, more than 60% took place in daylight.

Home Security Question #2: Which are the most common entry points for a burglar?
If you answered, "doors and/or windows" you are correct!
Tunneling and roof drops may get burglars into businesses and commercial properties, but residential thieves are far more opportunistic. They look for easy entry points like a flimsy back or garage door, an open window or a side entry hidden from the street. Picking the front-door lock isn't out of the question, either.

Home Security Question #3: What's the most common way of forcing entry through a door?
If you answered, "kicking it open," you are absolutely correct.
Entry is all about speed. Getting a door off its hinges or slicing through it might take a while and increase the chances of getting caught. More often than not, the weakest point of a door setup is a low-grade strike plate, which can detach from a wooden door jam with one powerful kick.

That's why we recommend you invest in an affordable and powerful home security device to prevent a kicked-in door incident from taking place at your residence.
