Property Recovery 911 was called in to do this Bucks County board up job on Saturday October 18 at 3:45am. The elderly residents were asleep when their living room window was smashed, and a large piece of slate was thrown through the 9 lite back door window. The assailant(s) reached through the breached rear door window to unlock the door and gain access to the ‘mud room’. Once inside, the intruders encountered a second locked door that led into the living room and attempted to kick it in. Waking to the commotion, the residents made enough noise to scare off the burglar(s) before accessing the epicenter of their home.

Our contact at Allied Tool & Conduit requested that only 7 first level windows boarded up for security purposes.  They had planned to have glass quickly installed in the remaining 24 second level windows.

Property Recovery 911 was called to a door board up in Center City Philadelphia resulting from a break in.  The door was breached most likely with a large screwdriver, which destroyed the door and the door jamb creating an unsafe situation for the inhabitants. We screwed the damaged door shut and boarded up the entry way, creating a safe environment until the compromised door and frame are replaced. We are available 24/7/365 for emergency commercial and residential board up services.
