Check out this amazing infographic from our good friends at CreditSesame.com!
Focusing on the relationship between social networks and property crime, this infographic comes from a study conducted by CreditSesame with some help from 50 British burglars. While none of the burglars participating in the study are currently engaged in criminal activities, their answers shine some light on the thought process and techniques of modern burglars.
A few of the more interesting tidbits revealed in the study include:
- 78 percent of ex-burglars believe modern thieves use Facebook, Twitter, and Foursquare to find empty homes to rob.
- 15 percent of Americans use social media to report when they have left the home.
- 78 percent of burglars admit a cheap alarm system would be enough to deter them from robbing a home.
- The average amount of time a burglar can rob your home and leave… 10 minutes.
