Seasoned burglars will take the least time in your home, in most cases, they will be in and out in less than ten minutes. Even if you may have a good home security system installed, if they manage to breach it, it is important you make it difficult for them to get their hands on your valuables. It, therefore, means that you should know what they will be coming for. Here are some of the common items they are usually interested in:
Identity-related information
That passport application you have always wanted to mail out but you have been forgetting about, which is left out on your table, can be very valuable. This sensitive information, should be put away.
Home goods décor
Burglars want things they can sell quickly, and this is why they will easily pick those decorative plates you keep above the mantle and any other small art decoration you could have in the living room.
Cash
Of course, every thief is in love with cash. Once they get it, you can’t reclaim it and they derive instant gratification from it. Besides, most people store their cash at home in very obvious places and the burglar don’t have to sweat while looking for it. They will just go to the bookcase, the small safe, the medicine cabinet or at the side table and if you had cash in the house, those are the likely places you will keep them.
Jewelry
With jewelry, they just need to stuff them in their pockets and they can easily sell them for quick cash. They also know where to search for them, and if you are careless with how you keep your jewelry, you will most certainly lose them when a burglar strikes.
