In addition to the fires that have affected France lately, burglaries are undoubtedly the ordeal that frightens the French the most. And for good reason, seeing your privacy violated following the offense of a stranger at home is fearful. A fear that takes more and more space in view of the constantly rising figures. At the beginning of 2022, the government published the figures for the increase in burglaries or attempted burglaries in the territory between 2021 and 2022. A 10% increase has been observed. Despite everything, this figure does not evoke the reality of the period concerned since in 2021, the French were under house arrest because of the pandemic crisis.

Back to school is approaching, and the time has come for you to perhaps fill your son’s or granddaughter’s kit. In the supply department, you might find that tool used by bad guys who break into your home: the classic tape roll.
