How A False Sense of Security Can Get You Killed
[A True Story] I've lived in a nice area of Houston, Texas, for
quite a few years. I'd heard crime was up thanks to unemployement, but
crime seemed like something that happened "somewhere else." I didn't
pay much attention to home security and I was lazy about setting the
alarm and making sure doors were locked.
One morning I ran out for just fifteen minutes and when I came home
everything seemed fine. Then the burglar that had quietly broken in
through a back entrance during those few minutes while I was out
stepped into the hallway. The last thing I expected that day was to
find myself staring down the barrel of a shotgun with a 6'4" intruder
yelling at me to "GET ON THE FLOOR!" I was lucky. I was only robbed,
but I could have easily been shot and killed.
If You Could Avoid a Traumatic Event by Spending an Hour or Two with
a Book, Would You?
The more time that passed after that day, the more angry I got at
myself. Why? Because I realized I didn't have to go through that
horrible ordeal if I'd just taken a few hours to go through the
Security Checklist items featured in _ESSENTIAL HOME SECURITY _and
followed the advice_._ I also later realized I wasn't alone:
Most homes have serious security issues that could easily be fixed,
but the residents usually don't even realize there are problems that
put them at risk.
Where Should You Run?
This true story, unfortunately, is common these days. Thanks to the
global economic downturn, burglary and other crimes are on the rise.
According to the FBI, that's true from the smallest towns to the
biggest cities. Some see unprecedenteded crime levels just around the
corner as the jobless become more desperate. The mortgage crisis, too,
has left more and more homes unoccupied. These homes, with their
unmowed lawns and empty interiors are attracting drug dealers and
other criminals who don't want a "real address" into otherwise good
neighborhoods. There is nowhere to run. You can only take a stand.
When society has problems, you have to ask yourself: Have you done
everything you can to protect yourself, your loved ones and your
property?
After my "close call," I knew I had to do something. My first
thoughts were to get a gun a dog and a better alarm system. There was
a problem, though. I'm allergic to dogs, and my wife wasn't
comfortable with a loaded gun lying around (unloaded ones don't help
much against criminals!). I couldn't really blame my alarm system -- I
didn't even set it on the day I was robbed. I was stumped.
Why Spend Weeks Looking for Answers?
I needed to do some research. What I found (after days and days of
searching) was that I couldn't find a good, single source of
information on home security. Most of the sites that came up on
searches were selling products. Some of these sites contained some
good information (some of it highly technical) but they were,
nevertheless, designed to sell me a specific security product. All I
wanted was unbiased information written in plain English. This is
when_ ESSENTIAL HOME SECURITY _was born.
You can spend weeks and weeks looking for the best home security
information, or you can be reading this book and making yourself safer
within the hour.
Save yourself weeks and weeks of research by spending just a few
hours with this 106 page e-book. _ESSENTIAL HOME SECURITY_ arms you
with information. It gives you a practical guide to items you can take
care of yourself, and walks you through all the "right" questions you
need to ask salespeople before spending your hard-earned money on a
security system. And, although _DOGS AND GUNS_ can be great for
security, the author realizes they're not practical for everyone. The
book first focuses on how you can secure your home without taking
these measures.
But, Everyone is Powerless Against Crime, Right?
_Wrong!_ Have you ever heard the line, "Don't bother, if a thief
really _wants_ to break into your home, they can?" It makes it seem
like there's no point in even trying to stop criminals, that you
should just give up. Well, _what if thieves don't want to break into
your home? _ That's the key. Then you don't have to make a break-in
100% impossible.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BRICK UP YOUR WINDOWS. YOU ONLY HAVE TO MAKE SURE
THAT THIEVES DON'T REALLY WANT TO BREAK INTO YOUR HOME. It's not that
hard if you know how.
The checklists in _ESSENTIAL HOME SECURITY_ will take you through a
step by step walk through of your property and make your home a _less
desirable target_ for thieves. How much is your emotional peace of
mind worth? The feeling that you have done all you can to protect the
ones you love?
THE SAD FACTS ABOUT BELIEVING YOU'RE SAFE
As I talked to experts after the crime, I learned that _ almost a
third of illegal entries are unforced._ A third! We're not talking
about skilled cat-burglars here. We're talking about any drug addict,
juvenile delinquent or thug who stumbles across an unlocked door or
open window. The more secure folks believe they are, the more they let
their guards down. The sad fact is that people don't feel the need to
do anything about home security until they find out ( the hard way)
how wrong they were.
MOST PEOPLE APPROACH SECURITY 180 DEGREES FROM HOW THEY SHOULD. THEY
PUT OFF TAKING CARE OF SMALL HOME SECURITY ITEMS UNTIL AFTER THEY ARE
CRIME VICTIMS.
Just like I did, most folks will go on believing they're safe until
they've been robbed or, God forbid, something worse. This doesn't have
to be you. In an hour or less, _ESSENTIAL HOME SECURITY _will give you
a wake-up call and get you started on quick and easy steps to secure
your home.
I've Got an Alarm and Good Locks So I'm All Set, Right?
_Wrong!_ Many folks buy an alarm system or dead bolt locks and
figure that's all they need to do. Dead bolt locks are great (if
you've bought the right type, installed them correctly and there is no
window near the door), but they do nothing to protect your windows.
Alarm systems play an important role (assuming you _always_ set them
every time you leave the house and at night), but they rarely protect
every door and window. Even if an alarm system calls for help, our
fine law enforcement agencies are stretched pretty thin in some places
and it may take awhile for help to arrive.
IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE: WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE AN ALARM WARN YOU THAT
A BREAK-IN IS IN PROGRES, OR WOULD YOU RATHER PREVENT IT ALTOGETHER?
More importantly, alarms _DON'T MAKE IT HARDER___ for a thief to
break in, they just make it _riskier_ that they'll be caught.
_ESSENTIAL HOME SECURITY_ e-book covers all of these items and much
more in a practical, easy-to-read approach, and walks you through how
to accomplish the three goals: Make it harder AND riskier AND less
rewarding for a criminal to break into your home.
DOESN'T GOOD HOME SECURITY COST A FORTUNE?
Not really. There are many inexpensive things almost anyone can do
to improve security. You can easily spend thousands of dollars on
alarms, locks and gadgets, but some of the most effective security
steps you can take cost _little or nothing._
_ESSENTIAL HOME SECURITY_ will help you improve your home security
without forgetting about your personal budget. Isn't it worth a few
hours spent with this matieral? Even if you don't want to read the
entire e-book, if you simply take 30 minutes to run through the
checklist, you will be better off than you are today.
