There have been some break ins about a mile or two from our house. We have been here for 18 years and have never had any problems, but now we are thinking about getting a home alarm system.
So 95 percent of all burglars are male? I did not know that, and never really thought about it before, but now that you mentioned it I have never really heard of a female burglar.
