Home Alarms Promoting Home Security


Nothing to be alarmed about, since it has been such a wonderful day.  Little do you know, as you are on your way home, that it is all going to change in a hearbeat.

You should have installed a home alarm when you were thinking about it.  As a matter of fact, you looked at a home alarm kit when you were shopping today.  Maybe later.  Now it may be too late.

Arriving home, pulling into your driveway and it seems something is out of kilter.  An odd feeling.  Feelings cannot lie.  Approaching your door, you notice the lock and door handle have been jimmied and your door is slightly ajar.  OhmyGod.  No.

Your heart seems like it is up in your throat, beating so hard you can hear it slam against your eardrums.    The queasiness in your gut practically brings you to your knees.  Your vision is going in and out of focus.  Your head starts spinning and you cannot decide what to do…go in the house or leave and call the police.

Life as you knew it a minute ago is upside down.  Confused.  Terrified.  Invaded.  Violated.  As your senses slowly come back, you wonder how this could have happened to you and not somebody else.  That is the way it usually occurs.  Thank God the kids were not home.

This has been a scenario we imagine has happened to many homeowners in the past and is probably happening to somebody as you read this article.

A burglary occurs every 14.7 seconds according to studies…and a larceny/theft, about every 4.5 seconds.  In this current economy the crime rates always go up.  Perhaps it could get even worse.  No sense in taking a chance.
