They Know if Your Home Has Been Broken Into Before
If you’ve fallen victim to a burglary once, you’re more likely to have it happen again. According to a study published in the British Journal of Criminology, burglars tend to strike again within the first few weeks after a home has been broken into. It’s only after 6 months that the risk goes down to the normal. So, how do they know that your home is an easy target? Someone who’s gone into your house once may give information to an associate—or even come back again themselves.
