Burglary is a reality, and while you shouldn't panic, there are some measures and information that are good to take. Do you know which items are most often stolen? Since burglaries are mostly very quick, burglars don't have time to search the entire house. They then target very specific items. Canordi has listed the most commonly stolen items to answer your question.

The most stolen items in a house

1: Jewelry

Unsurprisingly, jewelry is one of the most commonly stolen items when a burglary is organized. Valuable necklaces, luxury earrings, diamond-set bracelets… Nothing escapes the eyes and hands of criminals who know what is valuable and what is not. It is therefore better to hide and protect your jewelry well in your absence. To do this, there are several solutions.

2: computer hardware

Surprising? Not really! Everything related to computers and WiFi is of particular interest to burglars who do not hesitate to steal various equipment such as computers, tablets and others.

3: Cameras and lenses

Cameras and other equipment in this category, such as the cameras for example, are also popular with burglars who therefore make them a prime target when breaking into homes. It is therefore advisable to store and protect these various devices well so that they are not stolen.

4: Cash

Money is obviously also one of the "objects" most coveted by burglars. It is therefore better to avoid having large sums of cash at home or to protect them with high quality safety equipment .

5: Luxury clothing

Leather goods, scarves, coats or haute couture pieces, luxury clothing is also among the most stolen items. Luxury clothing is sought after by burglars, who can easily resell it.

6: Smartphones

In recent years, smartphones have become real technological gems and this has led to more and more covetousness. It is rare, during a daytime burglary, that intruders find smartphones. They are usually with their owners. At night, however, it is not uncommon to forget it in the living room or on the kitchen table. We therefore advise you to keep your phone with you or nearby.

7: furniture

The most stolen items also include furniture, especially valuable items. For example, antique furniture can attract burglars. It is therefore better to be careful when choosing a reliable security system .

8: documents

Burglars sometimes have a specific goal when they break into a home. Getting their hands on sensitive documents can be part of this.

9: DIY tools

If burglars stuck to hammers and screwdrivers, this wouldn't be a problem. But, DIY enthusiasts know, some tools can be very expensive. It's impossible to keep your tools in your house and the workshop is often in your garage. Known to burglars, they don't hesitate to visit this room. Make sure to secure the access to your garage to avoid unpleasant surprises.
