More Texans file home burglary insurance claims on August 10 than any other day – according to a recent review by Allstate Insurance Co.
Police say electronics, jewelry and cash are top targets during break-ins and obviously empty houses of vacationing families make easy marks. Police report criminals will often check homes for excessive mail, door hangers or newspapers lying around in the front yard. The suspects will usually knock on the victim’s front door. If no one answers, police say the perpetrators kick in the door, take items and leave within a few minutes.
