Every year 2 million home burglaries are reported in the U.S.  If homeowners were to take a few extra security measures, this large number can be reduced. It is very important to know what you can do to prevent break-ins as this is not only a matter of your personal belongings being taken, but also a violation of privacy and that can have many emotional effects on a person that last a lifetime. A few measures you can take include installing motion lighting, locking all doors and windows, and preparing for out of town trips. Please see the infographic below for more information.
