19 and a half things a burglar won't tell you...(even if you asked him nicely)

Their Secrets 1

 Sometime, I carry a clipboard.
 Sometimes I dress like the lawn guy and carry
a rake. I try my best never to LOOK like a
crook.

Their Secrets 2

 Of course I look familiar…I was here just last
week cleaning your carpets….painting your
shutters or delivering your new refrigerator.

Their Secrets 3

 Hey, thanks for letting me use your bathroom
when I was working in your yard today. While
I was there I unlatched the window to make
my return a little easier.

Their Secrets 4

 Do you think I won’t look in your sock drawer?
I always check dresser drawers, the bedside
table AND the medicine cabinet.

Their Secrets 5

 Here’s a helpful hint: I almost never go into the
kid’s rooms.

Their Secrets 6

 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).

Their Secrets 7

 If you don’t answer when I knock, I’ll try the
door. Occasionally, I hit the jackpot and walk
right in.

Their Secrets 8

 I love looking in your windows. I’m looking for
signs that you’re home and for flat screen TV’s,
video game systems and laptop computers (I
usually leave desktop computers alone…too
heavy). I’ll drive through your neighborhood at
night, before you close the blinds, just to pick
my targets.

Their Secrets 9

 To you, leaving a window open (just a crack)
during the day is a way to let in a little fresh
air. To me…it’s an invitation.

Their Secrets 10

 Two things I hate the most: barking dogs and
nosey neighbors.

Their Secrets 11

 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 just
human nature. I know…I study human
nature…it’s MY job.

Their Secrets 12

 A loud TV or radio can be a good deterrent.
Leave your TV on when you go out. You can
buy a timer that turns it on and off at
predetermined times when you go out or
vacation.

Their Secrets 13

 I’m not complaining but why do you spend all
that money on an alarm system and leave the
house without setting it?

Their Secrets 14

 If decorative glass is part of your front door
entrance, don’t let your alarm company install
the control pad where I can see if it’s set. That
makes my job too easy!

Their Secrets 15

 If you ask your security alarm company to
alarm the window over the sink I won’t be
your friend. And the windows on the second
floor? You don’t need to alarm those either.
Trust me. Why would I want access to the
Master Bedroom…where you keep the jewels.
And motion detectors are a waste of money.
Trust me.

Their Secrets 16

 Avoid announcing your vacation plans of
Facebook. It’s easier than you think to look up
your address. In fact, I can figure it out from
some of the pictures you post ( a lot of them are
“time, date and location” stamped).

Their Secrets 17

 You’re right: I won’t have time to break into
your safe…but if it’s small and not bolted
down, I’ll take it with me.

Their Secrets 18

 Yes, I really do look for newspapers piled up
on the driveway. And I might put a pizza flyer
in your front door to see how long it takes you
to remove it.

Their Secrets 19

 It’s raining…you’re fumbling with your keys
and you forgot to lock your door-
understandable. But understand this: I don’t
take a day off because of bad weather.

Their Secrets 20

 I ALWAYS have a Plan. Do you? Even my half-
baked plan is better than your “No-Plan” plan.
