We've Got Five on It! 5 Statistics Everyone Should Know About Burglary in the U.S.

The holiday season is in full swing... and unfortunately, so are burglary-related incidents nationwide.

If you think your neighborhood is safe enough that a burglary could NEVER happen to you, read on.

Here are 5 significant statistics theBulldog Bar Squad has put together for you-- because the better we understand this crime... the better we can protect ourselves, our loved ones & our valuables:

1. The average arrest rate in the U.S. for those who are actually convicted of burglary is only 13%. This means if your home is broken into, the chances of recovering your stolen possessions are very small because only few crooks face legal consequences for their actions, much less give back what they swiped from you in the first place. 

2. Most U.S. burglaries reportedly occur between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM. This illegal act also happens in much higher rates during warm weather months versus the cold season.


3. A typical burglary only lasts from 90 seconds to 12 minutes.
In other words, it doesn't take much time for a home invader to do A LOT of damage.


4. Regionally, the South accounts for 47% of annual reported burglaries in the U.S.
The Midwest and West territories, however, account for 21% these crimes, and
Northwestern area of America accounts for 11%.


5. Residential properties nationwide are targeted for a whopping 70% of burglary-type crimes annually. 
So no matter how safe your rural subdivision appears, it could never hurt to take extra precautions.

By extra precautions we mean: timers on your lights, closed curtains & blinds on all your windows and most of all-- reliable door security locks like theBulldog Bar for your main entryways. Implementing home security measures like these can greatly boost your protection against break-ins and the loss of valuable possessions.
