Growth of domestic burglaries in Germany from 2011 to 2016
Domestic burglaries in Germany have increased considerably and, according to police crime statistics, remained at a very high level last year with a total of 151,265 domestic burglaries/incidences of theft. However, many measures on the part of apartment owners and homeowners are making an impact, as is evident in the reduction by roughly 9 percent over 2015.
What can you do yourself to make things difficult for burglars?
Every chain is only as strong as its weakest link. This also applies to windows and doors. An additional locking rod permanently anchored to the masonry prevents pried open doors from being opened. For this purpose, however, the door frame must be sturdy and integrated well into the masonry. There are special strike plates and hinge locks to secure the door frame. Make sure the door leafs are strong. They should be at least 40 millimeters thick and preferably made of wood.
Always lock the doors 2x when you leave home. Do not leave the windows lilted open when you are not at home. Make sure that climbing aids like garbage cans, garden furniture, ladders or structures for climbing plants are not freely accessible in dangerous areas that allow access, for example, to the balcony or carport roof.
Burglars are nocturnal creatures. For this reason, make sure that front doors and basement and rear entrances are illuminated in the evening and at night.
