Crime Statistics
Some facts from the FBI:
> Every
year, over 2 million homes have a break-in or home invasion.
>
Almost 10 times every hour, someone is
raped.
>
Almost 100 times each hour, someone is
assaulted.
>
60% of rapes & nearly 40% of assaults happen during home invasions!
>
Over half of all home burglaries happen
during the day.
>
Many burglars come through an unlocked 1st floor door or window - if they’re
locked, they'll just kick in the door!
>
The average take per burglary is nearly $2,000!
It's only about $1,200 when a home
has some sort of security. (And almost half of those victims forgot to turn on
their alarm systems!)
>
Most burglaries are never solved!
>
Once you’re hit, odds are high you'll be hit again since you’ve replaced
all your stolen property with brand new stuff!
Scared yet? You should be!
