THINGS YOUR BURGLAR WON'T TELL YOU:

>
> THE NEW # 1 BURGLAR SECRET: I WAS ABLE TO LOOK AT
> YOUR "FACE BOOK" SITE AND READ WHERE YOU TOLD A
> FRIEND THE EXACT DATES YOU WOULD BE OUT OF TOWN WHICH GAVE
> ME A LOT OF TIME TO EMPTY YOUR HOUSE.
>
> 1. Of course I look familiar. I was here just last
> week cleaning your carpets, painting your shutters, or
> delivering your new refrigerator.>
>
> 2.. Hey, thanks for letting me use the bathroom
> when I was working in your yard last week. While I was in
> there, I unlatched the back window to make my return a
> little easier.
>
> 3. Love those flowers. That tells me you have
> taste ... And taste means there are nice things inside.
> Those yard toys your kids leave out always make me wonder
> what type of gaming system they have.
>
>
> 4. Yes, I really do look for newspapers piled up
> on the driveway.. And I might leave a pizza flyer in your
> front door to see how long it takes you to remove
> it.>
>
>
> 5. If it snows while you're out of town, get a
> neighbor to create car and foot tracks into the house.
> Virgin drifts in the driveway are a dead
> giveaway.>
>
>
> 6. If decorative glass is part of your front
> entrance, don't let your alarm company install the
> control pad where I can see if it's set. That makes it
> too easy.>
>
>
> 7. A good security company alarms the window over
> the sink. And the windows on the second floor, which often
> access the master bedroom-and your jewelry. It's not a
> bad idea to put motion detectors up there too.>
>
> 8. It's raining, you're fumbling with your
> umbrella, and you forget to lock your door-understandable.
> But understand this: I don't take a day off because of
> bad weather.>
>
>
> 9. I always knock first. If you answer, I'll
> ask for directions somewhere or offer to clean your gutters.
> (Don't take me up on it.)>
>
>
> 10. Do you really think I won't look in your
> sock drawer? I always check dresser drawers, the bedside
> table, and the medicine cabinet.>
>
> 11. Here's a helpful hint: I almost never go
> into kids' rooms.
>
>
> 12. You're right: I won't have enough time
> to break into that safe where you keep your valuables. But
> if it's not bolted down, I'll take it with
> me.>
>
>
> 13. A loud TV or radio can be a better deterrent
> than the best alarm system. If you're reluctant to leave
> your TV on while you're out of town, you can buy a $35
> device that works on a timer and simulates the flickering
> glow of a real television. (Find it atfaketv.com.)

> 8 MORE THINGS A BURGLAR WON'T TELL
> YOU:
>
> 1. Sometimes, I carry a clipboard. Sometimes, I
> dress like a lawn guy and carry a rake.. I do my best to
> never, ever look like a crook.
>
> 2. The two things I hate most: loud dogs and nosy
> neighbors.
>
>
> 3. I'll break a window to get in, even if it
> makes a little noise. If your neighbor hears one loud sound,
> he'll stop what he's doing and wait to hear it
> again. If he doesn't hear it again, he'll just go
> back to what he was doing. It's human
> nature.
>
>
> 4. I'm not complaining, but why would you pay
> all that money for a fancy alarm system and leave your house
> without setting it?
>
> 5. I love looking in your windows. I'm looking
> for signs that you're home, and for flat screen TVs or
> gaming systems I'd like. I'll drive or walk through
> your neighborhood at night, before you close the blinds,
> just to pick my targets.
>
> 6. Avoid announcing your vacation on your Facebook
> page. It's easier than you think to look up your
> address.
>
> 7. To you, leaving that window open just a crack
> during the day is a way to let in a little fresh air. To me,
> it's an invitation.>
>
> 8. If you don't answer when I knock, I try the
> door. Occasionally, I hit the jackpot and walk right
> in.
