Home Security System – 5 Silly Reasons Not To Get One October 27th, 2009
1. “I have a shotgun . . . .let ‘em try to come in.”
What if you weren’t home? What if a family member was home, unable to defend themselves? What if they broke in silently while you were sleeping? What if they came in with their own gun? Who would have the advantage? That’s why you need a security system.
2. “I can’t afford it.”
Let’s face it, most of us waste massive amounts of money on Cokes, snacks, games, etc. For about the cost of a Coke a day from the Minit Mart, you can protect your home and family, and it’s highly unlikely your budget will even notice. The truth is, you can’t afford not to have a burglar alarm, considering how much is being protected so inexpensively.
3. “We had a burglar alarm at our last home, and we never had a break-in, so we don’t need one.”
No comment on this one, because “duh” would be too rude. (Please get the security system!)
4. “Someone is always home at our house.”
Even if that were true, which it usually isn’t, more and more break-ins happen with the people home! Usually while sleeping! Please get the home security system, already.
5. “We live in a good neighborhood.”
I always urge folks to follow the local section of the newspaper for a few days. Why? Because you will then know that there are no immune neighborhoods! Burglars are everywhere. Believe me, if you knew what I know (and this is my business), you would have a Home security System.
