This is going to be tough to get a handle on.
It’s been a thing with premier league soccer players for a few years now. Now it’s becoming common here in America. It’s not like cops can just sit outside NFL players house all day every day. Criminals know that. These guys need to invest in security. At least some cameras and alarm systems. They aren’t that expensive.
I have an alarm system that will sound blisteringly loudly within 10 seconds of opening a door or window when I have it set to “away” or set to “protection” mode or whatever it’s called, unless you enter the passcode on the keypad within that ten seconds. Ripping the keypad off the wall doesn’t stop the alarm. Breaking the keypad doesn’t stop the alarm. There are multiple alarms in the house and they will make your ears bleed.
It automatically alerts the cops of a potential break in if no one turns off the alarm for a minute. Then they would alert me. Hopefully the insanely loud alarm is enough to make them run and realize any neighbor outside could hear it. It came with motion sensing cameras that I have in multiple places. If someone is on my property I’ll get a text telling me so.
That was like, not that expensive. Like 400$. Which is better than having all my stuff stolen, and for peace of mind. If someone breaks into my house at night, I’ll be alerted by the alarm before they get to my location.
Why every guy in the NFL doesn’t have this technology, I don’t know. Shoot. They can pay a few tough guys to stand around outside 24/7.
