During the night tends to be the popular time when people roam the streets and looking for ways to make extra money. If your home or covered patio has uncovered windows, people can easily see inside without you even knowing.
With a patio curtain you can easily have your own privacy and protect the chances of someone wanting to break in. The more valuable possession you have that strangers know about, the higher chance they will want to break in.
