Property Crimes happen all the time. Most take place when you are not home, but there are some cases where you are home. In case you should always protect yourself. Here are some of the following things you should do to be able to protect yourself and your family:
1. Take Self Defence classes: by doing so you can be able to take down the intruder and wait for the police to take them away without being harmed.
2. Buy MASE or PEPPER SPRAY: when sprayed into the eyes, the intruder cannot be able to see so you have enough time to run away or call the police.
3. Keep a baseball bat or something heavy near by: if the intruder tries to attack you, you can hit them with the bat or something heavy. This will give you enough time to run away and get help.

Valley Voice Article on Hate Crimes
ValleyVoice newspaper did an article on Hate Crimes in the valley. Hate Crimes are a big part of Property Crimes because most property crimes are done to people who have issues with each other. Let us know if this article is helpful!
"Hate Crimes motivated by hate decreased slightly in 2008 compared to the previous year, consistent with a drop in overall crime, according to a report released by the Los Angeles County Commission on Human Relations. However, the Valley’s results were worse. But despite the fact that hate crimes dipped to 729, the report noted it was still the second-highest number of hate crimes reported in the county since 2002. The report also found that while crimes motivated by race decreased by 16 percent, crimes based on sexual orientation grew by 21 percent and religious-based crime rose 14 percent. “Hate crimes targeting African-Americans, whites, Asians, Armenians, Middle Easterners and transgender people declined, but those targeting gay men and lesbians increased,” according to the report. “The number of crimes targeting Latinos and Jews remained virtually the same.” Overall, the number of hate crimes in 2008 represented a 4 percent decrease from 2007, when 763 hate crimes were reported.
The report also noted that the San Fernando Valley had the largest number of
hate crimes - 200 - followed by the metro area, with 147. Accounting for population, the Antelope Valley had the highest rate of hate crimes, at 11.8 per 100,000 residents. The east side of the county had the lowest number of hate crimes and the lowest per capita rate, at 2.2 per 100,000 residents."
