Take Action To Protect Your Home

According to the FBI, law enforcement agencies across the United States reported an estimated 2,154,126 burglaries in 2005, 65.8 percent of which involved residential structures. This is a 1.8-percent increase in burglaries when compared with 2001 estimates. In addition, the U.S. Census Bureau?s ?victimization study? indicates that only about one out of three crimes is reported, making the actual number of burglaries in 2005 closer to six million. Statistics also show that about 30% of all U.S. homes were touched by crime in this same period. Yet, the vast majority of residences still do not have a home security system. Why is this?

Perhaps it is because statistics like those above tend to be cold and unemotional, and don?t move people to action. Would you take action if you knew your family is more likely to have a member attacked in a crime than to suffer from a residential fire or an automobile accident? There is a good chance that this still wouldn?t motivate you, and that you would have to be victim of a break-in before you even considered getting a home security quote.

It?s ironic, isn?t it, that citizens would not consider being without insurance to protect themselves against fire or auto accidents, but neglect to protect themselves against crime. An even more ironic difference is that fire insurance or auto insurance doesn?t really protect them. They merely get paid for their loss after the catastrophe has happened. Home security systems are the finest kind of insurance because they prevent the catastrophe from happening in the first place! Burglar alarms are better than life insurance, where you have to die to obtain the benefits. Burglar alarms are ?living insurance?: they save lives while the owner(s) is still here.

So don?t wait until you are a victim before you take action. Home security systems have evolved over the years, and they can now protect you and your family from additional tragedies such as fires, carbon monoxide poisoning, medical emergencies, basement floods, and even frozen pipes! The average home security quote can be done in less than 45 minutes ? and a professional security consultant can provide you with valuable (and free) home security tips, whether you go ahead with a system or not.
