Loss from Theft and Burglary

No one wants to dwell on the loss and destruction a break-in can cause. But understanding the risk is the first step to protecting your home, your valuables, and — most importantly — your family.

Why Burglars Choose the Homes They Choose

When asked, burglars admit they survey neighbourhoods for the easiest places to break in without being noticed. They pick the homes that look most vulnerable — and steer clear of homes with obvious signs of protection, like home alarm signage and outdoor cameras.

The Real Cost of a Break-In

After declining for decades, property crimes — including break-ins and thefts from homes and cars — have started trending up again in many parts of the country, costing homeowners thousands of dollars in losses. And while most of us remember to lock our doors at night, about a quarter of break-ins happen during the day, when homeowners are expected to be at work.

The cost isn’t just financial. A break-in brings stress, emotional strain, and real risk to your personal safety.
