You just might learn something that will save your home or business from being burglarized. I am particularly interested in the part about the wasp spray... 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 youre 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, dont let your alarm company install the control pad where I can see if its 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. Its not a bad idea to put motion detectors up there too. 8. Its raining, youre fumbling with your umbrella, and you forget to lock your door - understandable. But understand this: I dont take a day off because of bad weather. 9. I always knock first. If you answer, Ill ask for directions somewhere or offer to clean your gutters. (Dont take me up on it.) 10. Do you really think I wont look in your sock drawer? I always check dresser drawers, the bedside table, and the medicine cabinet. 11. Heres a helpful hint: I almost never go into kids rooms. 12. Youre right: I wont have enough time to break into that safe where you keep your valuables. But if its not bolted down, Ill take it with me. 13. A loud TV or radio can be a better deterrent than the best alarm system. If youre reluctant to leave your TV on while youre out of town, you can buy a $35 device that works on a timer and simulates the flickering glow of a real television.

The two things I hate most: loud dogs and nosy neighbors. 3. Ill break a window to get in, even if it makes a little noise. If your neighbor hears one loud sound, hell stop what hes doing and wait to hear it again. If he doesnt hear it again, hell just go back to what he was doing. Its human nature. 4. Im 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. Im looking for signs that youre home, and for flat screen TVs or gaming systems Id like. Ill 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. Its easier than you think to look up your address. Parents: caution your kids about this. You see this every day. 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, its an invitation. 8. If you dont answer when I knock, I try the door. Occasionally, I hit the jackpot and walk right in.
