Burglary

• Every year, there are over 1 million burglaries and attempted burglaries.
• A burglary happens every 40 seconds in the UK.
• Most burglaries are not pre-planned but are committed by opportunistic criminals.
• Burglary victimisation occurs in 6% of cases when no or less than basic security, and 1% of cases where basic or enhanced security exists, in other words where there is  window locks and double locks or deadlocks on outside doors.
• A poll by Halifax found out 34% of householders with an alarm fitted to their home said they rarely activated it while a further 33% also said that they assume sounding burglar alarms in their neighbourhood to be false.
• 73% of burglars use doors, which are open in 3% of cases.
• 64% of householders also confessed to occasionally leaving doors unlocked whilst away from home and a further 37% whilst inside the home – even though statistics show that 22% of burglaries are carried out with the thief aware that the home was occupied.
• Infographics say that 57% of burglaries occur when someone is at home.
• Through a Victim Support Survey, it has been discovered that 1 in 4 victims have had their house broken into more than once.
• A British survey has found that repeat victims are likely to make up between 60-80% of all crime incidents.
• Most likely break-in and burglary victims are single-parent families in urban UK areas as they are affected twice more than homes with two parents, and thrice more than households without children.
• Urban residents are twice more susceptible to be burglars’ targets than rural dwellers.
• 56% of burglaries happen at night.
• Most burglaries take place after dark; 10% occur in the morning, 20% in the afternoon, 32% in the evening and 23% during the night, whereas 30% occur in the weekend.

What gets burgled?

• Property is stolen in 40% of cases.
• According to Infographics for 2009-2011, most stolen items are cash-17%, computers-15%, cameras and mp3s-13%, jewelry-11%, mobile phones-6%.
• The ONS has provided figures, which state that burglars nowadays tend to prey for mobile phones during robberies rather than wallets and cash, which are represented by 43%, 38% and 37% respectively.
• Theft of computer equipment is now twice as common as in 1995.
• Five in 100 households were victims of vehicle-related crimes in the year, compared with around 20 in 100 households in 1995, a drop of 71%.
• Burgled property is actually returned in 9% of cases.

With all of these facts in mind, are you making sure that everything is locked before going out? With this hot weather a lot of people just do not think and leave that window open for ventilation.
