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. 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 at

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.

FACEBOOK ALERT:
TELL YOUR KIDS/GRANDKIDS NOT TO ANNOUNCE TO THE WORLD YOU WILL BE GOING AWAY, NOT EVEN FOR THE DAY........
.............EVEN ADULTS INNOCENTLY DON'T KNOW, THEY BEING WATCHED BY PROFESSIONAL BURGLAR FACEBOOK READERS

1. Avoid announcing your vacation on your Facebook page. It's easier than you think to look up your address.
　

Well, it's all Shegabos and Shvoogies where I live, so nobody has 'decorative grass' or 'special alarm panels' or gets people to clean out gutters...As far as pizza flyers and newspapers and the like, everybody leaves them on the steps, so how would a burglar know if anybody's home?...Besides, there's nothing to steal out here anyway...All the crime is, like, 'assault with kitchen knife, domestic dispute', 'duct-taped body found in closet of vacant house', 'student shot in the head in park @ 2AM by unknown assailant', stuff like that...Or, 'car break in < $50'...So, you have an assortment of crimes, but not a big target area for burglars.

What I do is always keep the front light on at night, talk to my neighbors and let them know who I am, try to be courteous and helpful when I can, and keep my eyes open...Someone's in my house almost 24/7 anyway.

But an interesting post on burglar psychology.

Shegabos and Shvoogies all over my neighborhood isn't something I desire to see.
Nor pizza boxes blowing down the street, or the crunch of a broken "40" bottle as a car drives past.

I like to sit out on a nice summer evening on my patio and enjoy the breeze, the occasional squeal of kids playing on the lawns, and sip my beverage.
Maybe even chit-chat with my next door neighbor, out having a cig on the step.

I don't want to look at squalor and flat-nosed monkey faces that contain attitude.

Some of us armed our homes with alarm systems, not really because of fear or such, but to be one step up on things.... just in case.
Most of us look out for each other, bonded by the fact that it pays to keep an open eye in these times.

And I think so far, that asshole burglars tend to shy from our area just because they know their chances of success are limited.
