When we moved into our home five years ago, there wasn’t much around. Since then, several more houses have been built in our neighborhood, and our little town got a McDonald’s and a big name grocery store.

The area we live in is relatively quiet, so imagine our surprise when one of the homes in our area was broken into, and another had their car stolen. It sure made a few of us wary of “traffic” in the neighborhood, and a few of us purchased ADT home security systems to keep an eye on our belongings.

My neighbor had his installed the day he closed on his house, and it’s a good thing he did because that night someone tried to break in and take his washing machine. Who steals washing machines anyway? He was fortunate because he had the home surveillance system installed too and the authorities were able to identify the culprit.

A couple weeks later someone tried to get in through another neighbors back door. We have been fortunate, but I’m sure the signs in the yard, and having a home surveillance and security system have really paid off.
