Securing The Home
Burglar alarms are the most influential factor in deterring a break-in. Research shows that the majority of residential burglars said that they avoided properties with burglar alarms altogether (source the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) 'Domestic alarms market research survey').
When considering installing an burglar alarm system it is worth bearing in mind that the Association of British Insurers (ABI) report that the average claim in 2004 for a break-in to a home is £1,040.
The psychological aftermath of a break-in can be surprisingly intense. "The majority of victims say they will never have the same feeling of security and inviolability that they had in the past," reports psychiatrist Billie Corder.
This, coupled with the fact that having an burglar alarm system can mean reduced insurance premiums, suggests it is obviously the sensible option to prevent a break-in rather than fit an alarm system to stop the burglars from returning.
