here are the steps to take
If you arrive home and you think someone has broken into your property, leave immediately. You cannot be sure that the house is empty, and you should not take the risk.

Be sure not to touch anything and call 911 immediately. Go to a safe place, such as a neighbor’s house or lock yourself in your car. Look around for anything suspicious, like a car you don’t recognize or someone walking by. Make a note so that you can give this information to the police.

Once the police arrive, it is time to assess what was taken and what was damaged. Check for missing electronics, jewelry, medicines, collectibles and other valuables. If you have break-in footage from home security cameras, great. The police may be able to use it to find suspects, and you can use it to see what was taken.

After that, it’s time to contact your insurance company and bank. You need to start the process of reporting the theft. Your bank can help you close your accounts if cards, checks or bills containing your account information are taken. You can also freeze your credit.

What if you are at home during the break-in? SimplySafe says the first 30 seconds are critical. make no sound; Get up and close the door to the room you’re in. Listen carefully, and call 911 immediately. From there, you can try or stop by looking out the window or trying to escape from the fire.
