While we live in a safe place, compared to other places in Florida, it depends on how much risk you want to take. Many people have the "it won't happen to me" attitude and others have the " it could happen to me" attitude. I asked myself how I would feel if someone broke into our home and rubbished through drawers, closets and the house in general. I would feel very violated. Like others have said, a security system is a sort of insurance against this kind of crime happpening to you. We've all read about the rash of break ins that have occurred here where they enter through the sliders or break down the front door. None of us want that to happen, so I would personally want to be safe than sorry. If a potential thief sees a house with a security sign in front of it opposed to one that doesn't have a security sign, guess which one they're likely to break into????
