Whoa! Let's see: That's out of over 131 million households. That means 
there's the very, very scary 0.02% chance this house will be burglarized 
today. 0.02% chance!

Oops, no, wait! That's grossly exaggerated, because most burglaries are 
not of households. Most seem to be businesses. So ... maybe a 0.01% 
chance I'll be wanting to grab a gun today?

Nope, even that is exaggerated. Burglars, understandably, prefer house 
where nobody's home. One source says over 70% involve nobody being around.

And I'll remind you that the community where I live has been rated the 
sixth safest in the state. I think that means I'll be below the overall 
national average.

How close to zero risk do you require, Tom? And hey, maybe you should 
move out of that hellhole you live in!  ;-)
