    About this ebook

    How safe is your neighborhood? Did you know that in the U.S. collectively, victims of property crimes (excluding arson) suffered losses calculated at $15.5 billion in 2012?

    If you have never experienced a home break-in it's easy to brush that off as just another statistic. However, your friends, family and neighbors who are victims can tell a different story.

    Even if a person never confronted a burglar they may still suffer from the after effects of a home invasion. It can take a toll on the victims that they may never recover from.

    Some burglary victims tell of spending months in therapy trying to overcome the emotional devastation attached to a theft of this nature. In fact, many report that their sense of safety and well being suffers permanent damage.

    We could fill pages and pages of individual stories of violation but the underlying fact is, can a home invasion be avoided? The good news is YES, there are steps you can take to prevent losses before they occur!

    How can do you it?

    Firstly, you need to recognize that you have a problem. You can't recognize whether you are a potential target without taking a realistic look at your home and behavior.

    Secondly, you must learn to think like a potential burglar. Unless you can understand the mindset of a thief you will never be able to survive the modus operandi of one.

    The truth of the matter is that learning to think like a potential predator and then developing a plan to deal with changes in your home that will hinder (or totally eliminate) the threat is the only way to go.

    To learn how to establish or increase your home security you must have a copy of "Your Home Security Guide." This valuable guide will teach you how to improve your home security and focus on keeping your loved ones safe and secure.

    Three Things You Will Discover When You Do

      It was pretty short, and the advice was fairly general.

    About the Author

    Arthur Cavendish wrote his book to help people improve the security of their home and family.

    Arthur said, I started looking at this when I realized that some neighbors had been burgled or had other problems around their homes.

    Like many people, I had not been very concerned about it until there were a couple of incidents near us. I realized that it could easily have been our property and family that was attacked.

    So, I started to look at what could be done. I got advice from people with professional experience and did a lot of research.

    I believe the police do a great job but we need to do what we can to discourage the criminals. I was amazed how many people actually make simple mistakes which help the criminals and make the authorities job harder!

    Some people try too hard and actually get themselves in trouble!

    My book is for anyone that realizes the problem is real and the time for action is now!

    Some common advice doesn’t work in current circumstances.

    Being prepared is worth the time, effort and expense because it’s for us, our families and community!

    Introduction

    I hope that this book will help readers and their families be happier and safer because they are more aware of potential risks and understand what can be done simply
