    7 Ways to Protect Your Home from Burglary

    I can't put into words the fear, anger, and loss that comes from a home burglary. I came home one night and made my way upstairs to find random lights turned on and drawers opened. My heart sank. Our house, the house we'd selected for the great neighborhood, the house that we'd been in for just over a year, the house designed to protect and shelter my family had been compromised. This burglar stole more than just stuff; he stole my family's comfort, peace, and personal security. It's only fair for me to warn you that a burglary isn't always as obvious as you might think. Why was our house chosen? The million dollar question. Take a look at the 7 burglar trade secrets and take measures to protect your home and your family. If you think a home burglary can't happen to you, I'm sorry to tell you you're wrong. - By Lori Garcia
