Five Most Popular Items Thieves Want From Your Home

The bedroom is the most popular place we keep and even hide items which is why burglars make a beeline there as their first stop after breaking into a home. You may even have people you welcomed into your home that don't turn out to be on the up and up.

Obviously not everything these bad guys want to steal will be there. For example example bicycles and cars. However, when it comes to the most popular items thieves search for, the majority of the items are easily found in our bedrooms and bathrooms.

According to The Weekly Journal website, these are the most stolen items out of our homes.

Jewelry, Watches
Cash, Credit Cards
TVs, Cell Phones, Laptops
Prescription Drugs
Cars, Vehicle Parts

Each of these items are quite profitable for thieves and the majority are easy for burglars to stuff and steal.

Obviously having a heavy, large safe to lock your expensive jewelry, extra cash lying around, and credit cards you don't carry on a regular bases is best, especially when you're gone, however, we usually keep these items for quick access in jewelry boxes, drawers, and even sitting out in our bedrooms.
