Burglar Alarms and The Beckhams

The high security celebrities need has been highlighted over the years, but even the most famous people in the world are not safe from burglary. Ozzy Osborne and his family lost valuable personal jewellery, including wedding rings after one unfortunate break-in. And the Beckhams have had a series of security scares. State of the art burglary alarms, CCTV and even 24-hour guards are often employed by the rich and famous who are large targets for burglars and stalkers alike.

Burglar Alarms – High Security

The homes of Posh and Becks have always had high security. ‘Beckingham Palace' - their huge Hertfordshire mansion – already had strong measures in place with guards and burglar alarms. But in 2002, after alleged plans to kidnap Victoria, security specialists were called in. It seems burglar alarms, electronic gates and 24-hour guards are not enough when it comes to the immense allure of celebrity for burglars, stalkers and over zealous fans.

Top of the Range Security

Beckingham Palace featured private property signs and burglar alarms in clear view at the gatehouse, but guarding personal safety and privacy have always been at the top of the priority list for the couple. While most homes are happy to have basic security such as burglar alarms, the Beckhams:

	Tagged all their wedding guests with security tags in 1999
	Reportedly hired SAS minders to guard the family
	It's been rumoured that MI5 have requested to take over the family's security as Beckham is considered of ‘national importance'

More than Burglar Alarms

Although it might seem impossible to improve on already high security and burglar alarms, the level of security is determined by the level of risk. A high risk property needs more than burglar alarms alone and often security consultations are necessary to make sure all angles are covered. A combination of burglar alarms, electronic gadgets and physical blockages such as gates and fences are important for high risk properties, although all properties and situations are unique and should be assessed as such. There is no such thing as absolute security and even the best burglar alarms can't ensure intruders won't break in, but taking the right security steps greatly minimises the risk for celebrities.
