According to the FBI, July and August are peak months for home burglaries, making it also prime time to take stock of your home security.
That’s why the New York City-based Insurance Information Institute suggests that everyone protect against “a physical or virtual break-in” during this crucial time.
There are many things a burglar can take from your home, the group said, but the most important thing is your identity.
According to the institute, identity theft insurance is available to repair credit reports and reimburse victims for the restoration of their identities.
