It's not a question of IF you'll be burglarized, just WHEN.

A violent crime occurs every three seconds. In 1997, a household burglary occurred every 13 seconds. 35% happened at night, 65% happened during the day. One out of four robberies result in injury to the victim. 60% of all rapes are committed during home break-ins.

• There is a fatal injury every 18 minutes and a disabling injury every 4 seconds*
• In persons over 65, falls are the leading cause of home injury death*
• The overall leading cause is poisoning, with the age 25 to age group having the highest death rate*
• 2 million children are injured or killed by home hazards each year*
• 1 out of 10 calls for an ambulance involve a child*
