These days, it seems virtually impossible to attain peace of mind in your own home, unless you benefit from superior protection provided by a state-of-the-art. Even people who live in rather small communities are exposed to considerable safety risks and have to start implementing basic preventive measures to avoid or limit property damage and financial losses.
Homeowners and business owners from Lincoln, Maine, have recently reached the conclusion that effective crime prevention strategies are their last hope. Most of them are terrified by a rash of burglaries reported in different areas of their town. People who have already recorded significant financial losses seem eager to take this matter into their own hands, as law enforcement representatives have a hard time trying to apprehend the suspects involved in this string of burglaries.
Officials from the local Police Department counted no less than 32 burglaries, recorded in Lincoln and its surrounding areas, since July. So far, police officers seem unable to address the residents’ concerns, but still hope to make a few arrests soon.

Surprisingly, numerous residents admit that they have never felt the need to lock their doors and windows prior to these incidents. The rash of burglaries has made them reconsider and now all security-conscious homeowners are double-checking window and door locks, as well as installing modern. Moreover, business owners keep their stores well-lit 24/7 and spare little expense, when it comes to protecting their houses by implementing top home security systems.
I lived in this town all my life. Growing up, we never had to lock our doors. It’s not that way anymore, that’s for sure,” explained Holly Russell, the owner of a local hair salon targeted by the team of burglars responsible for this new string of property crimes.
