An experiment conducted by Zurich Insurance proved that homes nowadays are so easy to break in. According to the data gathered, almost 10 percent of the total interviewed households (n=1000) have had their homes burglared. When Zurich tried to experiment with the 1000 houses, they were able to open 2/3 of the houses in a span of 15 minutes. What’s more disturbing is that a much higher percentage (28%) of the houses were opened in less than 5 minutes. If this is the state of house security locks in today’s houses, burglars can surely victimize a lot of households if they don’t check and double check their locks.
