Getting robbed is a horrible experience, the invasion is not only physical, it is also psychological. You feel violated and it can take years to get over. It is worth being as proactive as possible to prevent this kind of crime happening to you. Information is power, and this is true of crime. It pays to know the when, where, why and how of robbery, so that you can do everything in your power to prevent it.

One of the key issues you need to be aware of is when robberies occur. Many people want to know whether they are more likely to robbed during the day or at night. As you will see, there are two different kinds of burglars and they have different habits.

Residential burglars work during the day when the residence is most likely to be empty. They are only interested in obtaining goods that they can sell to a fence. They will case out a neighbourhood looking for the most attractive target.

Home invasion robbers work at night, when you are home. They seek to use your fear as leverage. They will often have cased your house out beforehand, maybe as a delivery person or tradesman. They are the most dangerous type.

As you can see, there are no easy rules, but the home invasion robbers who come at night are by far the most dangerous.
