How would you like to come home and find your home had been vandalized to the tune of $40,000? That’s exactly what happened to one Lexington family, and to add insult to injury the damage was done by seven boys ages 11 to 15.

Home security companies have proven to be one of the leading forces in crime prevention. You are more likely to have your home or car broken into than meet up with a violent street crime. The loss is devastating to a family when their home is destroyed by intruders in the process of burglarizing it.

The Lexington family lost about $4,000 worth of expensive electronics. They used cans of spray paint to vandalize almost everything in the home. They used kitchen knives to slash the furniture and the carpet. They took food from the refrigerator and mashed it into the furniture. The culprits had no apparent reason for targeting this particular home – it was just easy to force entry because the homeowner had not taken precautions to secure it.
