Protect Your Home: Why Summer Months See an Increase in Burglaries.

The impact of a burglary is devastating. Not only do victims lose valuable items, but they also lose their sense of safety and security in their own homes. Unfortunately, Australia ranks 7th in the world for the highest rate of burglaries per 100,000 people. In 2021 alone, nearly 240,000 Australian households experienced a break-in, highlighting the need for increased vigilance when it comes to home security.

Why Are Burglaries More Common in Summer?

According to Budget Direct, the summer months bring a noticeable spike in burglary rates across Australia. This surge can be attributed to several factors:

Holiday Travel

Families are more likely to leave their homes unoccupied while they take extended vacations, making their properties prime targets.

Longer Days

With more daylight hours, burglars have more opportunities to strike without the cover of darkness.

Open Doors and Windows

The warm weather often encourages homeowners to leave windows or doors open, which can lead to vulnerabilities if not properly secured.

While we can’t always prevent a break-in from happening, there are measures we can take to make our homes less appealing to thieves.
