Yard Signs & Window Stickers - Effective Home Security Measures

28 July, 2010

Ever hear about not advertising which security company is protecting your home because that lets burglars know what they have to do to disarm the security system? Don't buy that old chestnut for a minute.

Homes that are protected by a professionally installed and monitored home security burglar alarm system are up to three times less likely to be burglarized than homes that have no security system. This is because burglars know that a professionally protected home presents them with far more risk than the reward could possibly be worth.

My monitored ADT home security system came with a window decal and a yard sign, and we put them to work just as quickly as we could. We were anxious to let burglars know that our house was the wrong house for them. When obstacles are placed in their way, they'll move on to an easier target.

Have your home professionally protected, and advertise that it is! Let burglars know that your house is the wrong house.
