SOME MYTHS
Myth: You are most likely to be burgled in the middle of the night
Fact: Most houses are burgled when they are unoccupied. Therefore, most burglaries occur in the afternoon, whilst houses are unoccupied, rarely in the dead
Of night when people are in. (Note that the only burglary (thankfully) so far in Limaria, was at night in an unoccupied house)
Myth: There is no point in having a burglar alarm it just advertises the fact that you have property worth stealing.
Fact: Putting a burglar alarm on your house is an effective deterrent not an advertisement that you have something worth stealing. Almost every house has something worth stealing nowadays.
Myth: If they want to get in you cannot stop them.
Fact: Yes you can. If you make it difficult enough or you can slow them down, they may be deterred and move on to an easier target. (Although one would think the rejas would be a prevention greater than what you would expect in the UK)
