Some numbers on burglaries

Home burglaries are a recurring problem and are increasing every year. For example, according to INSEE, in France, in 2019, 489,540 households report having been victims of burglary or attempted burglary of their primary residence in the year preceding the survey.

Here are some key facts about burglary:

  • Primary residences are the major target for burglars
  • Many burglaries are committed without breaking and entering
  • On average, a burglary lasts 3 minutes
  • Burglaries increase during the summer and at the end of the year

What do burglars look for?

Burglars are looking for an easy target. They want a home that looks unoccupied and unprotected. They also look for homes with lots of hiding places, such as bushes or trees near the windows. And finally, they look for homes with easy access, such as a first-floor window that is not locked.

How to Avoid a Burglary

There are several things you can do to avoid being burglarized.

  • Get to know your neighbors and look out for each other. This will allow you to keep an eye on each other's homes and report any suspicious activity to the police.
  • Make sure all your doors and windows are locked, even when you are home.
  • If you have a security system, use it! Set the alarm when you leave the house and make sure the monitoring company knows how to reach you in case of an emergency.
  • Don't announce that you are going on vacation on social media or in public places where people can see you.

Security tape: a great solution to prevent and delay a burglary

Protect your family with adhesive window films.

There are steps you can take to avoid being burglarized, and one of the best ways is to install window security film. This film makes it difficult for burglars to break through or shatter your windows, and it also holds the glass in place in case the glass breaks. Plus, it's a great way to protect your family from shards of glass in case of an accident.
