Recently, there has been an increase in home invasion burglaries. This is a crime that involves forced entry into the home where the occupants are at home at the time of the crime. This could happen anytime, during the daytime or at night when the occupants are sleeping. According to the F.B.I., one in five homes in America will experience a home invasion or break-in. 

The burglar could have been casing the wealthy or elderly, looking to steal property or drugs or maybe even having some type of vendetta to resolve. Whatever the reason may be, it is not fun and could cause physical intimidation or worse, the use of weapons to cause fatal harm to your loved ones. Having an ADT monitored home security system installed will help prevent this type of crime from happening. Setting your system to STAY MODE will protect you while you are at home anytime of day.
