Most people believe they will never be a victim of burglary - until it really happens to them. And there are a minority of unscrupulous people out there who prey on this belief and benefit from the illegal gains.

In Reality, there are a very small core of persistent burglars who prey on innocent people's trust in human nature.

Our natural instinct tells us our private and personal homes are untouchable and no one would be prepared to will cross our doorsteps uninvited.

The reality is different, however. Across the UK, 36% of domestic burglary happens simply because doors and windows are left insecure an easy way to allow burglars into our homes.

In areas with an established neighbourhood watch scheme in operation, people living in the protected communities are slightly more worldly wise and security conscious than the average, with 25 per cent of burglaries being committed via an open door or window.

Contrary to popular belief, most domestic burglaries within our homes are committed by opportunists.

The criminal picks a house that looks unoccupied, has little or no obvious security, and where they think they won't be seen or heard.

Often these are spur of the moment decisions, made when an easy target presents itself, such as an open window, valuables being left on view, or lapses in security.

By looking at your current level of security you can perhaps identify potential areas for improvement and thereby reduce the risk of becoming a victim of burglary or theft.
