Security is an aspect of homeownership that is often overlooked. And yet, there are 2.5 million burglaries annually in the United States, according to the United States Department of Justice yearly data. Over half of these are home invasions. 🏡

In other words, every 15 seconds a home burglary occurs in the United States. This means that approximately 4,800 burglaries happen every day. 🔓

You may think your house is secure until you see this:
