Two Children Escape Home During Break-in

Pinson, AL - Two Pinson children managed to escape their home Monday as a burglar attempted to break in.

Tribune Interactive reports, a 14 year-old girl and her 9 year-old younger brother were home alone when they discovered a stranger trying to enter the house. Thinking on their feet, they immediately called their mother who in turn contacted the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office. The children then escaped and ran to their neighbor’s home.

Authorities arrived to find 50 year-old William Thomas climbing out of a first floor window of the home. When Thomas discovered the authorities’ arrival, he dropped the stolen belongings and ran into a nearby wooded area. Authorities surrounded the wooded area and later captured and arrested the suspect.

Gratefully, the children were not harmed in this burglary. Leaving children home alone can be stressful, especially when hearing news stories like these.

Breaking Into Homes With An iPhone?

It’s the 21st century and we’re all guilty of taking advantage of innovative technology as it makes life easier, more convenient and even more entertaining. But a downside - technology can make life easier and convenient for criminals too.

SABRE has learned, there is a downloadable iPhone app with the capability of giving someone access to your home. Wired.com has shared an articled titled, The App I Used to Break Into My Neighbor’s Home where it is revealed how to break into someone’s home with the use of an iPhone.

Companies like KeyMe, along with competitors like KeysDuplicated and the Belgian Keysave, intend to solve the common problem of lockouts and lost keys, thereby creating apps that have the ability to scan your keys and copy them. With these apps, you scan and upload your keys, copy them and even send them to a friend who plans to visit.

This may sound like another cool and innovative idea until you realize how much of your home security is actually at stake. In the article, The App I Used to Break Into My Neighbor’s Home, the author provides details of how he was able to scan his neighbor’s keys, create a duplicate and re-enter his neighbor’s home without permission.

We can’t be oblivious to the new technology out there. SABRE is here to make sure you are prepared to handle such innovative changes with the SABRE Home Series.

For greater protection, you can start off with the WP-100 Wireless Home Protection System which includes a control pad, 8 security zones, a key fob remote control, a wireless motion detector, and two window/door sensors.

If you are looking for something more simple and even more affordable, we have door/window alarms, motion sensing alarms and more that are available individually. Either way, our SABRE Home Series Products can help scare away criminals, the moment they attempt to enter your home.

As we can continue to enjoy the innovative technology of the 21st century, it’s important to remain alert and aware of what’s out there. Be smart, be ready and be safe with The SABRE Home Series.

SABRE would like to offer a few tips and suggestions to help you make it through this wonderful season with much delight...

For starters, make sure your doors and windows are visible from the street. 50% of intruders will enter your home through a first floor window or back door. Keeping all doors and windows in plain sight is a good way to discourage would-be thieves.

The SABRE Wireless Alarm Kit is a great way to invest in your home security with its easy installation and inexpensive, yet practical means to securing your home.

The Alarm Kit includes a 120 dB Keypad Door / Window Alarm plus 3 Additional 120dB Door / Window Alarms. The 120 dB alarm sound is as loud as a rock concert, which deters the burglar from entering your home and allows you to wake up and be aware of the situation.

The Keypad Door/Window Alarm has an Entry / Exit delay to prevent false triggering. It also has an arm & disarm feature that requires a numeric code.

The SABRE door/window alarm protects your home with its magnetic triggered alarm that sounds when a protected door or window is opened, tampered with, or movement is detected.

Man Arrested After Garage Break-in

New Castle, PA — Is your home fully secured? Are you missing anything? Think about it.

The garage is one of the most vulnerable entries of your home and the importance of its security is often forgotten. Not only does it hold all of your important tools, supplies and automobiles but when garages are connected to the home, a burglar gains access to everything inside.

Pennsylvania State police arrested an Ellwood City man after a garage burglary in Taylor Township.

NEW Castle News reports, a woman’s garage was broken into while she was sleeping around 6:00am on July 1st.

The woman was not aware of the incident until she saw her air compressor advertised for sale on the Lawrence County Community Bulletin Board two days after the break-in.

She contacted the police and arranged to set up the transaction to buy back her stolen property in an attempt to have the suspect arrested.

The suspect learned of the set up during the transaction and escaped before the police could arrest him. He was found and arrested last Wednesday with a burglary charge.

It took approximately two and a half weeks to catch the suspect after the break-in on July 1st. SABRE could help avoid situations like these with our alarms made to help scare intruders away.

The SABREGarage and Shed Alarm will help in keeping your garage safe and secure. 

Like all of our Home Series Products, this Garage and Shed Alarm is very cost effective and it installs easily in minutes. The alarm is keypad operated, arms with a numeric code and comes with 2 sound modes, alarm sound to scare off intruders, and chime sound to inform you when someone is home.

Don’t forget about your garage when thinking about home security!

Intruder Enters Sandra Bullock's Home!

Photo retrieved from Wonderwall.msn.com

Hollywood actress Sandra Bullock’s home was broken into just last month by 39 year old Joshua Carbett. Bullock was quick to call the police after a face-to-face encounter with the suspect.

Corbett is now facing residential burglary and stalking charges after his arrest at Bullock’s mansion.

Wonderwall, an MSN news outlet reported that Bullock heard a loud, banging noise at the early hours of the morning. She then came face-to-face with the suspect after leaving her bedroom and entering the hallway to check on the noise. Bullock immediately ran back into her room, locked the door, and called for help.

The good news is, Bullock was able to call for help and escaped the situation unharmed. But, if her home was secured, a surprising encounter may have been avoided.

There are a number of SABRE Home Series Products that can help you secure your home at a low cost with easy DIY installation.

-Wireless Home Protection System: An industry leader, this system is easy to install and provides door and window sensors that can secure the entire first floor of your home. An intruder will immediately know that if you are home, you are now awake calling for help, and if you’re not home, the neighbors have heard the noise and could be taking action.

-Motion Sensing Ceiling Alarm: This alarm covers a 360 degree area up to a 20 feet distance! The 120dB alarm will sound once again alerting you, and making the intruder think twice about continuing inside your home.

Carbett’s method of entry has not been reported, but SABRE alarms can cover the most vulnerable entrance ways to your home. We only provided two examples of SABRE’s Home Series, but many more can be found at sabrered.com/homeseries.

4th of July Safety Tips From SABRE!

Well folks, tomorrow is the 4th of July, also known as Independence Day and of course, SABRE is here to provide you with tips to keep you and your family safe! A lot goes on during this wonderful holiday: cookouts, parades, themed parties, firework shows, and much more!

Throughout all of the exciting festivities during holidays like the fourth, we tend to let our guards down as we enjoy our favorite holiday traditions, like going out to see the fireworks with family.

Here are some things to keep in mind while celebrating America's independence!

Stay alert and aware, especially when attending crowded events

Events like firework showings are always packed full of people and criminals love large crowds. The larger the crowd, the easier it is for someone to get lost or quickly mugged.

To be safe, we would recommend our SABRE Personal Alarms for these situations. The dual siren of the alarm produces a strong sound, attracting attention and making criminals think twice before sticking around to complete their crime.

Keep a close eye on children

Talk to your child before going out and make sure they understand important safety rules. When going to events, don't let them out of your site and make sure it is clear to them that they can only stay in specified areas where you can see them.

Personal alarms are also a good tool for children. If they wander off and find themselves in danger, they can easily pull the key chain which triggers the alarm.

 

Protect your home while out

If you're going to be out celebrating all day, or even vacationing for the holiday, your home should be protected. Everyone knows that people will be out for the holidays, including intruders. Don't make it easy for a criminal to slip into your home. SABRE’s motion sensing alarms, door and window alarms, as well as our wireless home protection system make it easy and affordable to secure the first floor of your home and the main entry points.

Remember to have fun, but stay aware and be safe!

Happy 4th of July, from SABRE!

#SafeIsSmart Campaign: Thank You For Your Support

As the month of June has come to an end, we at SABRE would like to thank everyone who has participated in our #SafeIsSmart campaign. So many great tips have been shared, and many people say they’ve been inspired to purchase a SABRE Home Series Product.

With June being both the first month of the summer and National Home Safety Month, we felt it would be an appropriate time to promote our SABRE Home Series Line, designed to provide everyone access to superior home security.

SABRE Home Series Products are available at your local Target store.

With burglary crime rates on the rise as they occur every 14.5 seconds in the U.S., there is a need for reliable and affordable security alarm options to help consumers protect themselves, their loved ones and their property. We believe that everyone needs to be ready and prepared because unfortunately, violence and property crime rates continue to increase, even in the safest of neighborhoods and suburbs.

In addition to the SABRE Home Series, we also feel it is important to raise awareness about personal safety. We started our #SafeIsSmart campaign in the month of June to get consumers engaged in conversation about their safety. SABRE encouraged others to share  #SafeIsSmart tips and advice about how they are protecting themselves and their families across Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

We would like to give a special thanks to the following bloggers for taking part in our #SafeIsSmart Campaign and spreading the word to raise awareness!

Caitlin Boyle of Healthy Tipping Point

“SABRE’s line of home safety products are now available in-stores at TARGET. I think these would be great investments for someone who lives in a dorm, rents an apartment, or is looking for a more cost-efficient way to add an alarm to their home.And my SABRE pepper spray now lives on my keychain.”

Lauren of Skinny Fat Girl Diary

“June, being National Safety Month, gave me the push I needed to take a realistic look at my personal safety.”

Ericka Andersen of Sweet Life With Ericka

“It’s such a simple step to take the time that could save your life. When you hear about home break-ins or devastating circumstances where someone is harmed or killed, all you can think about is how they could have protected themselves. Chances are, it’s not going to happen to you — but why take the chance?”

Jennifer Cassetta

“As a huge advocate for women’s safety, I am super excited about the #SafeIsSmart campaign sponsored by Sabre personal safety products.”

In addition to these special bloggers here are a few of SABRE’s favorite posts from viewers like you!

SABRE is donating $1 to RAINN, the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network for every #SafeIsSmart hashtag used in the month of June.

After tallying the results, there were 325 posts with the hashtag #SafeIsSmart! Great job to everyone who participated!

Together, we have shared many tips and facts in regards to our home and personal safety.

Here are a few facts and tips you should keep in mind:

• 83% of homes in the U.S. don’t have a home security system. Meanwhile, there are 25,000 burglaries in the U.S every day.
• Over 50% of intruders enter through first floor windows or back doors?
• Ask a trustworthy friend or family member to get your mail while on vacation so burglars can’t see that you’ve been gone.
• Wait until you’re back home before you share vacation photos on social networks!
• Hiding your spare key near the front door is usually easy for a criminal to find
• Don’t wait for a crime to be committed before you decide to protect your home and family. Guard your home while you still can with The SABRE Home Series.

The month of June has ended but we encourage you to continue to spread the word about the importance of home and personal safety. Again, we thank you all for your participation in this campaign! And remember. Be Smart. Be ready. Safe is still smart.
