I hear so often, 'I was in the back yard" or "I was only out for 2 minutes to get some milk". Opportunity knocks. Those young people see an opportunity and take it in a flash. My theory to security is to spend time and money on all aspects of security. Tidiness around a house gives an impression of conscientiousness, Trees and shrubs away from windows removes hiding places for a thieve to break-in. Solid doors and locks on all doors and window makes it difficult for lazy thieves, next door might be easier. Security system and window warning stickers to deter the persistent thief. Lock valuable away inside so a thief cannot just walk around inside your house or business and pick up what they want. Then don't stop upgrading your security each year. That way it will not cost you a fortune all at once, spread the cost over time. Owen Sorry to hear about your misfortune.

Sometimes you really do think you're safe and even shows like "It Takes a Thief" look more like a fairytale (an evil one) than true life. Actually, at one point I was praying that it was "It Takes a Thief" who broke in and not someone else. As for the crime rate in Arizona, I know that we're ranked pretty high depending on what the crime is. I think a lot of it has to do with the growth of the city and all the new housing developments which from my understanding are a cinch to wreak havoc on. Other people will tell you that the high crime rate is attributed to other "specific" things, but these conversation are better suited for Borat than this blog. :) Larry, I’ll be sure to not let my dog out of my sight! :)

I must say that this is crazy timing. Just this last week my wife introduced me to a show on the Discovery channel that I have become instantly addicted to. It's called "<a href="http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/ittakesathief/ittakesathief.html" rel="nofollow">It Takes a Thief</a> and it's a must see show. Basically, these guys break into a home film the entire then and then tell the home owners how they can better secure their home. It's very entertaining. Give it a look. Again, sorry Tomas that this happened to you. Side note, I've heard that Arizona / Pheniox has a high crime rate? Guess the heat gets to people... Wow Tomas, that sucks.
