Did you know that a lot of burglars will look for homes to break into that don’t have vehicles in the driveway? This is very important to know because if you are not home and they break in, then it is not dangerous to you, but what if you are home and there is no car in the driveway? Then you are in danger when they get into your home. This is why it is so important for every home to have a driveway alarm to alert you to a driveway intruder.

A driveway alarm will not stop a burglar from getting into your home, but it will give you and your family much needed warning of danger. This is especially important if you have teenagers that are at home alone. There have been too many news stories done about a burglar that breaks into a home because they didn’t see a vehicle in the driveway.

A driveway intruder will first scope out your home and make sure there is no activity before they attempt to break in. For most homes, no vehicle in the driveway is a good indication that everyone is gone for the day. Getting a driveway alarm will mean that your family members that are at home will be alerted to the danger. This will give them time to get away and call for help.

There was a news story done by the Gaston Gazette and they were discussing a recent break in to a home by two brothers. In one home that they broke into, there was a teenager home alone, but they broke in because they didn’t see any vehicle in the driveway. They spoke to Gaston County Police Capt. J.D. Ramey. He states, “They were targeting residences where no vehicles were in the driveway.”
