On late Tuesday, August 24, the ever-fluttering sky of twitter was alarmed by an unharmed Paris Hilton thanks to her home alarm system at her residence in Los Angeles. She texted to her twitter followers that a foreboding man armed with two kitchen “knifes” arrived at her doorstep. Thankfully, he was stopped in no time by her installed home security system. According to a press release from Hilton’s publicist, “The security cameras and alarm system were alerted and the police immediately came to the house and arrested the intruder who was attempting to break a window when they arrived.”

Home security systems work, and they are a prime defense against the high number of property crimes that happen each year. As in Paris Hilton’s case, an attempted property crime does not have to cause a significant amount of damage to be considered illegal, and for charges to be pressed and arrests made. According to the FBI, in order for burglary to have happened an intruder does not have to use force to enter a private residence. A burglar can exercise one of three offenses: forcible entry, unlawful entry where no force is used, and attempted forcible entry. So a man showing up at your doorstep with a weapon is a chargeable offense. A 2006 analysis reports that 2,183,746 burglary crimes took place nationally, and 365,436 of those incidents occurred with the use of knives, firearms, strong arms, and other weapons. Considering that 66.2 percent of the burglaries took place at homes, apartments, and personal dwelling places, that’s a significant potential for a harmful encounter at YOUR home. Luckily, home security systems are available to provide you with maximum home security. With options at your fingertips, there is no reason why you shouldn’t feel safe enough to leave your belongs secured during the day, and at night while you peacefully slumber.

No one is immune to attempted burglary. Weather you’re saving pennies or purchasing your next thoroughbred pony, we are all targets of a potential break-in. Even Paris Hilton, a celebutante who boasts a protective entourage and money to spend on high technology burglar alarms, draws dangerous predators who track her and target her. Luckily for her safety, she didn’t chance to ride on her famous reputation and fortune to protect her. She installed alarms that would alert the police in case of an emergency, and cameras to catch anyone with violent weapons entering her property. You shouldn’t wait until the damage has been done to think about a home security system. A story like the threat of a burglar bearing weapons should be enough of a warning to you. Install your home security system today, and avoid the pitfalls of thievery and personal harm. Defend your home with a home alarm today. Someday you could be updating your friends and family on the Internet that, thanks to your burglar alarm and monitoring system, you too were rescued from the bad-will of a burglar that couldn’t get into your home.
