There is much to love about the summertime: warm weather and longer days, barbecuing, swimming, camping, and taking an out of province road trip. But there’s a downside for homeowners: home invasions and burglaries tend to increase throughout the summer.
Residential break-ins happen every 90 seconds in Canada, according to SGI Canada, and more than 80% of break-ins occur during daylight hours. According to Statistics Canada data from March to October 2020, property crime decreased by 13% (3,404 break-ins) from March to April, and peaked in July (3,948 break-ins).
Most of us feel safer when we are inside our homes. But when you are home alone, you need to be extra cautious. Your home may be the first place that the burglars check before breaking into any other house. They will probably look for valuable items and expensive electronics. Even though you are home alone, you may not be safe if you leave your doors unlocked. Your home needs to be protected with security alarms. This will allow you to be alerted if the doorbell is rung or if someone comes up to your window. This is a good idea if you want to be able to defend yourself if someone comes into your home while you are asleep. Many people have already been attacked because they didn't have security.
