Within the past couple years, a new form of burglary has developed using what is called, “lock bumping,” similar to a lock pick gun, but much simpler and easier to do and leaves no trace of forced entry. Here’s a new video concerning this:

This has caused an increase in low-end burglars, and when taking in consideration our economic recession, the number of thefts is expected to rise exponentially.

2. Get a monitored home security system and USE IT
3. Change your locks to those which are difficult to bump, such as Medeco or Schlage Primus or even electronic or magnetic locks.
