A TIFA national survey released in September 2026 found that residential break-ins and burglaries made up about 25 per cent of the crimes respondents experienced, and an earlier NCRC study ranked burglary first. Protection works in layers: fix the fence and gate, light the entrances, use strong locks, add cameras and an alarm, and keep valuables out of sight.
