Having someone break into your home is downright scary. Not only could the burglar take valuable and priceless belongings, but the incident could ruin your sense of security. Even your own home stops feeling so safe.
With nearly 3 million burglaries occurring in the United States each year, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the fear of a break-in is nothing to scoff at—but it probably does not match the picture in your head. When you think of someone sneaking around in your home, you likely imagine a burglar sneaking in while you are asleep. In reality, your biggest risk of a break-in is not at night.
Research actually suggests that break-ins are most likely to happen during the day. Burglars are most likely to enter homes on weekdays between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. or from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
Entering a stranger’s house in the light of day sounds risky, but it is actually a safer bet for burglars. Even when residents spend most of their days at home, late morning and early afternoon are among the times residents are most likely to be out.
When you are out of the house in the middle of the day, make sure to lock your doors and windows behind you to protect yourself from burglaries. Cash, jewelry, and electronics are among the items thieves most hope to walk off with, according to a University of North Carolina at Charlotte survey of convicted burglars, so keep those belongings secure.
This week's tip:
Schedule a vacation check.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department provides Vacation Security Checks to all residents of the City of La Habra Heights. While you are away on vacation, officers driving a marked police vehicle will periodically stop by your home to verify that all doors and windows are secure. This is another added security precaution you can utilize to safeguard your possessions and assure your peace of mind while you are on vacation. This is a free, but invaluable service provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department to the residents of La Habra Heights. Please fill out the Extra Patrol Request Form and submit the form at City Hall, 1245 North Hacienda Road.
