"They ate chocolates before they left again."

This statement does not come from a crime novel - but from a real burglary victim.

In the SRF report on rising burglary crime in Switzerland, a couple tell how thieves ransacked their entire house. Every cupboard, every drawer opened. Money and jewelry worth CHF 100,000 stolen. And as if that wasn't brazen enough, the perpetrators took a leisurely break at the dining table.

Facts that shake you up:

๐Ÿšจ In 2023, there were almost 30,000 burglaries - not including sneak-ins.

๐Ÿšจ The perpetrators now strike around the clock - even during the day when someone is at home.

๐Ÿšจ The clearance rate? Only 18%.

Burglars' tactics: lightning fast & unscrupulous

According to a former burglar, it takes less than 2 minutes to break into unsecured windows or doors. Anyone who doesn't get into the house during this time will usually abandon the break-in attempt.

This means:

๐Ÿ”’ Good security measures = burglary protection!

๐Ÿ”’ A secure home is often reason enough to deter perpetrators.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Safety is not a question of luck - but of preparation!
