Intruder Alarms Don’t Deter Burglars
Summary
A recent survey reveals that professional burglars are not deterred by intruder alarms. This lack of concern is often due to homeowners neglecting to set their alarms or properly secure doors and windows. Without proper use, even advanced security systems provide little protection.Article
According to professional burglars, intruder alarms are not a significant obstacle. A recent survey found that alarms pose little difficulty for these individuals. The main issue is often homeowner negligence, such as forgetting to activate alarms or securing entry points improperly. Consequently, the benefits of advanced security systems are diminished without proper usage.
In this survey, nearly half of the burglars acknowledged that home security has improved over the past decade. However, they also expressed confidence that these advancements are insufficient to prevent break-ins. Only 20% admitted that an effective security system was a deterrent, while 40% said being disturbed by homeowners was the primary reason for abandoning a break-in. Another 40% were deterred by a noisy dog on the premises.
A notable 67% of surveyed burglars followed a predictable pattern when searching a house after breaking in. They typically began in the main bedroom, where valuables are often hidden, then proceeded to other bedrooms and the living room. This method proved efficient for locating valuable items. Interestingly, burglars serving jail time revealed that children’s rooms are seen as the least profitable to search.
The average burglary takes just 20 minutes, with many burglars committing their first offense at age 13. Two-thirds prefer to work alone. Most professional burglars plan their offenses, though they will seize opportunities if a suitable target presents itself.
The primary motivation for burglary is financial gain, with over 80% citing money as their main reason. They assess potential targets based on various factors, such as the type of car in the driveway, visible valuable items, available cover like fences or trees, the presence of alarms or dogs, and signs of occupancy.
While burglars often claim not to be daunted by intruder alarms, many would still opt for an easier target if one is available. It's important to consider the bravado of those surveyed, as they were all convicted burglars in prison at the time.
In conclusion, while security systems may have advanced, their effectiveness largely depends on homeowners using them diligently.
