A home break-in is one of the worst experiences possible as a homeowner. The thought of someone in your home, going through your belongings, is very difficult. Then of course there's having to repair the damage and replace your things. After the police have gone home and you're left home alone with your ransacked house and a broken window, what's next? This can be a very frightening time for a homeowner who is forced to confront the fact that there house was not as well-protected as it should have been. Where do you start?
Repairs
After the immediate threat is over and the police have taken their report, your first duty is to repair any damage left by the thieves. This means repairing any broken windows or doors and cleaning up the mess left in the burglars' wake. Do not take your time making the necessary structural repairs to restore the integrity of your home's doors and windows. If you do, you open yourself up to burglars taking advantage of these newly unprotected entrances.
Improving Home Security
The unfortunate truth is that once your home security has been compromised, you can count on burglars coming back again. According to one statistic, a home that has already been burglarized is 4 times more likely to be targeted again by thieves, who have learned that your home security methods aren't strong enough to keep them out.
After your home's been broken into, take the necessary steps to prevent another burglary. Install outdoor lighting and surveillance cameras, door and window alarms, and other home security devices. Do not make the mistake of concentrating only on the entrance used by the burglar this time around. Chances are good that if a burglar was able to find their way inside through one entrance, there are other, equally unprotected entrances around your home.
Improving your home security not only protects your home from another break-in, it may also help you sleep better at night knowing that you have taken the necessary steps to protect your home and your family. Knowing that a burglar could get inside your home is one of the most frightening after-effects of a home invasion. Adding additional security layers can improve your sense of security and well-being within the home.
Insurance
Now that the physical damage has been repaired, it's time to go about replacing your belongings. Contact your home insurance agent and begin itemizing a list of belongings that were taken during the break-in. Photographs, serial numbers, or detailed descriptions can help the police recover these items, and may also be useful to proving the value of your possessions to your homeowner's insurance company.
Once you've replaced the items that were stolen, be sure to keep them safe in the home. Don't throw out the box to your new HDTV; burglars could be watching, and will know that you've spent your insurance money on more possessions worth stealing. Instead, keep it behind closed curtains, and consider additional security measures such as motion detector alarms near any particularly valuable purchases.
