Did you know that burglars use a 3-component decision-making strategy when they burglarize a business?

• First, they assume that your property contains some minimal potential gain.

• They plan carefully to see if your business can be burglarized easily with a fast exit. Many people assume criminals are unintelligent, but not so according to studies done by the National Criminal Justice Reference Service.

• They evaluate all risk factors including if a business is occupied. They want easy entry.

Criminals are opportunistic and do not use rational thinking when they commit crimes, but they are easily deterred and will run off if something spooks them.

The presence of a guard dog, security hardware, and people in the area as witnesses can scare them off.  But, most burglars are looking for drug money.  Some are on drugs while committing a burglary because the fear factor is reduced when they are high.  And if they don’t find the payoff expected, they often vandalize out of anger. One thing is for sure, you never want to unknowingly walk in on a burglary in progress.
