Household burglary is one of the most widespread crimes in Australia. In some areas statistics mention a burglary rate as high as 1 in 11 households, while in other areas it is 1 in 27 or 35. The tendency is rising in most areas. Crime statistics agency data shows that home invasions are up by 40%, with the majority of burglaries taking place when no one is home.

Money is most commonly taken followed by jewellery and electrical appliances. Keeping such items out of view is slowing thieves down as most burglars are looking for a quick grab and get away.

Burglaries are often crimes of opportunity. Most intruders are looking for a house left open or unlocked which makes entry easy. A report published by the Australian Institute of Criminology, based on interviews with 65 burglars, found that the majority typically took less than 5 minutes to enter a property.
