Takin' Advantage: 8 Signs Burglars Look for When Breaking Into a Neighborhood

At theBulldog Bar we are fully aware that it can be unbelievably easy for burglars to break into your home when you are away. 

That's why we want you to be aware of these 8 signs burglars commonly look for when they are considering breaking into houses in a particular neighborhood:

1. An attached garage. Attached garages are actually a bonanza for prospective burglars because from the inside of a garage, it could make for an easy break-in to the main part of your house without the neighbors noticing.

2. Landscaping in need of maintenance.
Anything that can help outside invaders climb into your dwelling openings (like your windows) such as overgrown tree limbs, "convenient" lattice work from your fencing structures, or even a vehicle or sturdy patio furniture/garbage cans can be used to gain access into your dwelling.

3. Noise.
Heavy traffic and/or construction activity or "deafening sounds from machinery around the neighborhood can. in fact, be used to shield or help prowlers when trying to break into your residence.

4. Silence.

The absence of "typical neighborhood noise" like dogs or any other pets that can instigate movement or motion around your dwelling can serve as a perfect diversion for burglars to break in.

5. Easy-access windows or door screens.
These types of features on your home can seem like amenities to you and your family, but they can easily or quietly be sliced open in order to get into your domain.

6. Unlocked doors in a supposedly safe neighborhood.
Leaving your doors unlocked simply because you "live in the 'burbs" can be an easy target, which of course includes any weak doors and your first-floor windows.

7 . Overgrown shrubbery. Failure to keep up with your landscaping at home can serve as the perfect hiding spots for crooks wanting to get into your territory, especially with flimsily installed porches, privacy fences and walls. These types of outdoor additions to your household definitely need more lighting during the night, so you and your neighbors can easily detect suspicious activity.

8. Secluded homes without ANY specially installed security devices.
This could also a good target for home invaders...because burglars are vigilant about looking for security alarm signs & decals. Sometimes they are even keen to the motion-detector lights you have installed on you property.

After listing those 8 signs burglars typically look for... you may now want to examine your humble abode through a thief's eyes in order to execute the best home security strategies possible (especially in your most likely places of entry).
