Burglary Prevention:
HOME INVASIONS
12 January 2010 - Newsletter #49Learning from VictimsHome Invasions – basic burglary preventionNorfolk VA: An 86-year-old woman has improved to good condition after being critically injured in a home-invasion attack that fatally injured her 90-year-old husband. She is recuperating at the hospital from the pre-dawn attack which netted a robber her wedding ring.On their street, neighbors are installing burglar alarms. A neighbor said that the victims were very trusting people, in every way. 
How can you prevent such home invasions? ANSWER: You'll likely totally avoid such home invasions if you follow the advice in Burglary Prevention – and its links to related pages. And your most important lesson is in the last line above that reveals the root of their vulnerability: They were very trusting people, in every way. That means it’s unlikely they ever would have read the pages I recommend, in fact urge, ALL people to read. Since they were so very trusting (a lovely trait, but lethal for prey) they likely never would’ve been cautiously wary of the crazed and/or heartless of the world. Trusting, kind, beautiful people never seem to realize that three percent of the world’s population are criminal predators; the rest of us are their prey. Thus the trusting, good-hearted victims never would’ve fortified their home nor doubted the lies that lead to a Push-In or a Scam-In. And with their admirable yet dangerous kindness, they also never would’ve followed the advice in Outdoor Safety - Overview (and its links to related pages). Nor would they ever have even dreamed of carrying any Security Products - Personal Devices. Ironically, tragically, perversely, the cherished qualities of kindness and trust often get good people killed. Pollyannas reject reality. They don’t visit this website and the pleas of their loved ones fall on deaf ears. They don’t buy burglar alarm equipment or improve their security habits until an evil, common criminal targets them or someone near. Then they wake up – or at least some of their neighbors do. Are you awake yet? If you learn from their tragedy – at least some good will come from it.
