A Californian home has been robbed after a burglar forced their way in through the dog door.
A Californian home has been robbed after a burglar forced his way in through the home’s dog door.
The door was just big enough for the burglar to squeeze into the door in the garage, before prying open a human door to gain entry into the house proper.
Among the items stolen during the raid were video game consoles and games, a laptop computer and various other electronic items.
While doggie doors do offer a great deal in the way of convenience, if they’re not carefully installed and managed, they pose a significant security risk.
Infra-red or RFID activated pet doors are now available to ensure that unwanted animals, or burglars, cannot make their way through the door.
Likewise, installing the door in an inconspicuous location and having a suitable sized door rather than an oversized one will also help to ensure that your pet door is only used by your pets.
