It is not a great feeling to have your home invaded. It shatters your security and trust in your home, it rips away your comfort and replaces it with insecurity. A house is not invaded just at night, it is also invaded during the day when you go to the store for what you think will be 5 minutes. If your home is being watched, like some seniors I know have been, they will rush up with a Credit Card and slip that lock open and are in and out in under a minute. ALWAYS lock the deadbolt even if you leave for a second or talking the dog for a walk.

Most people and their habits can be learned very easily. So keep people guessing , always be mindful of your surroundings, close all doors and your garage even when you walk the dog. If you do not leave a opening to be a victim, you won’t be.
