WHAT THE BURGLAR WONT TELL YOU__
The guy that just cleaned your carpet, painted your shutters, or delivered your
new refrigerator knows the layout of your house. He knows where things are
and how he is going to break in. He thanks you for allowing him to use the
bathroom because he unlocked the back window to make his unwanted and
illegal return easier.
YARD TOYS
Those yard toys your kids leave out always make me wonder what type of
gaming system they have and the I want. The flowers tell me that you have nice
taste which means you have nice things inside.
NEWSPAPERS PILED UP
Yes, I really do look for newspapers and mail piled high. And I might leave a pizza
flyer at your front door to see how long it takes for you to remove it.
THE ALARM CONTROL PAD
If decorating glass is part of your front entrance, don't let the alarm company
install the control pad where I can see it. That makes it too easy.
MOTION DETECTORS
A good security company will put contacts on all the windows on the first floor
but the master bedroom and valuables are on the second. It is not a bad idea to
put motion detectors on the second floor also.
BAD WEATHER
I don't take a day off because of bad weather. If it's raining and your fumbling
with your umbrella and forget to lock the door, I will get in.
ASK FOR DIRECTIONS
I always knock or ring the doorbell first. If you answer, I will ask for directions or
ask if you want your yard cut. Don't take me up on it.
SOCK DRAWER
I always look in your dresser, the bedside table, medicine cabinet and yes, even
in your sock drawer.
NEVER IN THE KIDS ROOM
I almost never go into the kids room.
THE SAFE
I never take the time to break into the safe. But if its not bolted down, I will take it
with me.
THE FLICKERING GLOW
A loud TV or radio can be a deterrent. If your reluctant to leave your TV on while
your out of town, you can buy a simulated TV device that works on a timer and
simulates the flickering glow of a real television.
