Did you know that one out of every six homes on an annual basis is a victim of burglary? That doesn't count home invasions which is a separate category.
That old idea that a man's home is his castle isn't exactly true.
Everyone is subject to home burglary.
There are of course some things you can do to minimize your risk.
Here are a few top ideas.
Join or start a program from your local sheriffs department called the neighborhood watch.
It's free and is very effective.
Put up a sign in your front yard warning of a vicious guard dog.
You don't even need the dog, just the sign will do.
Eliminate hiding places around lower-level doors and windows.
But police officials will tell you that 90 percent of all home burglaries can be prevented.
And that 60 percent of all home burglaries happened through unsecured doors and windows.
So the best free thing you can do is to lock all your doors and windows even when you're at home.
But the absolute best thing you can do is to get some home security cameras.
They send a message to would-be burglars to stay away.
I think the reason that most people don't get home security cameras is because they think they're too expensive.
Here are the top three cheap home security cameras.
1.
There are four dome cameras that can send either black and white or colored images.
They are all wired and all come in at $100.
00 or less.
One has infrared capability.
They are all very small about 4 inches across and are weatherproof and produce high resolution pictures.
2.
The low light outdoor bullet camera black-and-white version is a wired weatherproof camera that can be used indoors or outdoors is less than $100.
00 as well 3.
The day/night color camera wired bullet has a high quality digital CCD chip that automatically switches from color to black and light white in low light conditions.
It also has 30 built-in high infrared illuminators.
It's weatherproof and comes with a mounting bracket.
Those are the top three cheap home security cameras.
Now you have no excuse to send a big message to the bad guys to stay away.
