burglar was able to gain access without using force—oŌen through an
unlocked door or window.
Nearly 66% of all burglaries are residenƟal and of those, 62% occur during the
dayƟme when no one is home.
Only 13% of reported burglaries are solved by the police.
About 30% of residenƟal homes have security systems.

MYTH: Your car needs to
warm up in the winter!
MYTH BUSTED: Cars made
aŌer the 1980’s DO NOT

wastes gas and hurts the
environment .
When you leave your car

you are inviƟng someone to
steal it. If you have a remote
starter, use it wisely!
