4. THINGS YOUR BURGLAR WON’T TELL YOU
We will be posting a few of these items every week in the Holmby News. These insights into the way burglars “think” could help save your home from being burglarized:
1. Be sure your windows are locked when you’re away.
2. Bad reflection on you. You’d be surprised how many home owners position a mirror in their entry hall so I can see from a window if the alarm system is armed. (Yours wasn’t, but I’m guessing you know that by now!) . Thanks for taking a lot of pressure off of me. A little free advice: Relocate the mirror so your alarm system isn’t visible if someone else would peer through a window.
3. The telltale grass – Wow, isn’t it amazing how fast the grass grows these days? I swung by now and then and noticed your lawn was uncut, newspapers were piling up on the front steps, and your shades were always closed. To me, that’s an open invitation. Next time, hire someone you trust to pick up around the doorstep, open and close various window shades, and turn different lights on and off (or put a few on timers).
4. One more thing: Lock any car you leave in the driveway, or I can use your garage door opener to get in quickly.
5. Dear BFF – Thanks for alerting a professional acquaintance of mine via your social network that you were away for the week in Puerto Vallarta, having the time of your life.
Me? I enjoyed a very relaxing visit to your home with no pressure of being caught. If only you had known that posting comments and photos of your trip on social networks is fine, but do that after you return so you won’t broadcast your absence!
