Theft Behind...How to Avoid Identity Theft by Preventing Burglary

Home burglary isn't just an incident that leaves you feeling violated or at a loss because your valuables were stolen...it can also be a huge risk of having your identity stolen.

That's because along with your material possessions that can be stolen, residential invaders are also capable of taking credit cards, bank statements and even passports or other important paperwork from your home. 

When someone else has access to personal information from these kinds of documents, A LOT of damage can be done... mainly from identity theft. 

Identity theft happens when someone uses YOUR personal information (such as your name, social security number name or credit card number without your permission) to commit fraud or other crimes.

A criminal with your info at their fingertips could:
- run up your credit cards
- drain your bank account
- take out a mortgage under your name or 
- commit an illegal act and pretend to be YOU when caught. 

These thieves can even use your identity to apply for a job, buy a car and take advantage of your medical insurance without your authorization or you even knowing it's being done. 

And if too much time passes while someone is posing as you...your credit score could be destroyed & your financial credibility could be completely wiped out without you having a clue about what happened.

So how can you protect yourself against identity theft? One easy way is simply to secure your home & the valuables under your roof properly.

This can be done by:
- investing in a fire-proof safe that you can bolt to your floor
- password-protecting your computers, smart phones & tablets so your information can't be accessed by anyone else
- installing powerful home security devices (like theBulldog Bar ) on your windows, side entryways, as well as your front & back doors
