No one wants to find their house ransacked and prized possessions stolen, but more than 580,000 burglaries occur yearly, according to the latest FBI data. Burglaries have declined 62% since 2012, but they’re still the most common property crime. Material things can typically be replaced, but the risk to victims’ safety is concerning. More than 11,000 burglaries in 2021 involved assault.
