Anytime you hire anyone to do some work on your home or automobile, you have to be very selective. For one thing, these are probably your two biggest investments and you don’t want anyone tinkering with them who doesn’t know exactly what they’re doing. Secondly, it can cost you a lot of money to do some type of home improvement or have a major repair done on your car, so you want to make sure you find a tradesman who does quality work at affordable prices.
I was reading an article recently about a spate of burglaries in the Atlanta area. A group of men were identifying garage doors that were open or ajar and taking whatever they could find.

It is difficult to know all of the different home security locks and keyless entry systems that are available to you if you are not a locksmith, and locks are something that most of us don’t put a lot of thought into. As long as they work when you turn the key, you assume [...]

However, the people who are the victims of burglaries are often times not doing enough to protect themselves. If you are practically inviting a thief to easily enter your home, someone just might take you up on it.
Burglary is a problem in Atlanta like it is in all large metropolitan areas, and though property crime was down slightly on a national level, it rose in Atlanta by about 7% in 2008. In fact, Real Clear Politics used the FBI’s 2008 crime statistics to evaluate the least safe cities in America, and Atlanta made it to #2 on this dubious list.
