There is no better place to feel safe and secure than in your own home. It's where we can relax after a hard day's work, be ourselves and share laughter and stories with our families and friends. Consider the aftermath then when someone enters your home under their own accord and rummages through your personal belongings and then leaves with your most prized possessions.

Douglas McArthur once wrote. "There is no security on earth, there is only opportunity." His words ring true. What for you is a rickety French window is a burglar's window of opportunity. What you see as a lovely, albeit a little fragile, antique door is a would-be robber's golden gate to riches.
