With the economy in chaos, more law enforcement officers are noticing increases in home burglaries throughout the nation. Yet despite the rise in robberies, many still choose to avoid securing their home correctly as to thwart potential break ins. Simple changes can be made to both your home and your lifestyle to ensure that your livelihood remains safe and protected. It’s really just that simple.

According to an interview with a caught burglar on PFAdvice.com, many home intruders look in common hiding places, so it’s important to be creative when hiding your belongings. Think beyond the mattress, the fridge, the closet, and the medicine cabinet. Instead, think about maybe creating a decoy recycling bin with one of the diversion safes from DefendWell.com or even use your wall as a hiding place with a wall socket safe. This burglar also said in his interview that the best strategy might be to leave some money, at least $100, in a somewhat obvious place and hope the intruder will be satisfied and stop looking.

Finally, invest into a security system that works for both your home and your budget. DefendWell.com offers a great selection of home security products that are sure to be the right fit for your home.

In Florida, a woman has recently done her part to preserve justice in her community.

Using a web cam, Jeanne Thomas captured two men in the act of robbing her home. After logging into her web cam feed from her Keiser University office, Thomas discovered that two men had made themselves right at home.

”It was the strangest feeling,” Thomas said of the incident in an interview with the Palm Beach Post. “I had a feeling something wasn’t right. When I went on, I saw a person standing in my house.”

While watching the men gather up her family’s belongings, Thomas contacted police and within minutes, 18 officers had surrounded her home and the robbers inside.

”You could see them on the video freaking out,” said Thomas, who installed the camera after going other robberies. “They darted around the house trying to figure out how to get out.”
