According to FBI data, property crimes such as burglary, property theft and motor vehicle theft have risen as much as 9 percent between May and September over the past five years – the highest percentage in the calendar year. That's why Signal 88 Security has prepared the following information on protecting your property during the high-crime summer months.

(PRWEB) June 30, 2014 - With both the high mercury and summer vacations in full swing, incidents of crime increase, too. And it’s no coincidence: According to FBI data, property crimes such as burglary, property theft and motor vehicle theft have risen as much as 9 percent between May and September over the past five years – the highest percentage in the calendar year.

To combat this trend, Signal 88 Security, a private security company comprised of more than 100 locally-owned franchises across the U.S., encourages people to take a few precautions to protect their property.

"Unfortunately, criminals historically take advantage of the crime opportunities summer provides," says Dan Cisar of Signal 88 Security. "Making modifications to your home or apartment now can prevent you from becoming a victim later."
