Mam has one , Dad has one and the kids have one each front door keys we all use them and we all need them they are essential to our every day routine \u2013 when we need them most of the time they are there in our pocket. Occasionally we lose them but the invariably turn up in the last place we look \u2013 the joy of keys.<\/p>\n
How many do you have for your home \u2013 a couple for the parents and a couple for the kids \u2013 one for Grandma when she babysits, maybe a couple of spares possibly 7 or 8 is not that unusual.<\/p>\n
You decide to move home and after the trauma\u2019s that it brings the day to exchange comes and you round up the keys \u2013 Grandma and one of the kids cannot find theirs one of the spares has disappeared so you hand over four of the eight you had \u2013 but what happens to the others \u2013 your an honest bunch so when you find them you dispose of them sensibly.<\/p>\n
Your new home with its 4 new keys is great but what if the previous owners also had 8 keys and were not as honest as your family and did not dispose of them sensibly \u2013 and what if one of those keys fell into the hands of a teenage burglar (statistics suggest that 16-24 year olds commit 48% of all burglaries) \u2013 in the panic and elation of the move you forget to change the locks on your new home \u2013 you know what comes next. One night when no one is home that missing key is used to illegally enter your home and your possessions disappear \u2013<\/p>\n
