THINGS YOUR BURGLAR WON'T TELL YOU:
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 at faketv.com <http://faketv.com/> <http://faketv.
com/ <http://faketv.com/> >.)
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.
9. Don't put a mourning wreath or some other sign of
bereavement on your front door. We check obituaries and
funeral times, and if something looks promising we'll
hit during the funeral. Do you really need a double
tragedy?

2010 Census to Begin
THIS IS PRETTY BASIC ADVICE;
Be Cautious About Giving Info to Census Workers by Susan
Johnson
With the U.S. Census process beginning, the Better
Business Bureau (BBB) advises people to be cooperative,
but cautious, so as not to become a victim of fraud or
identity theft. The first phase of the 2010 U.S. Census
is under way as workers have begun verifying the
addresses of households across the country. Eventually,
more than 140,000 U.S. Census workers will count every
person in the United States and will gather information
about every person living at each address including
name, age, gender, race, and other relevant data.
The big question is - how do you tell the difference
between a U.S. Census worker and a con artist?
BBB offers the following advice:
If a U.S. Census worker knocks on your door, they will
have a badge, a handheld device, a Census Bureau canvas
bag, and a confidentiality notice.
Ask to see their identification and their badge before
answering their questions.
However, you should never invite anyone you don't know
into your home.
Census workers are currently only knocking on doors to
verify address information.
Do not give your Social Security number, credit card or
banking information to anyone,
even if they claim they need it for the U.S. Census.
REMEMBER, NO MATTER WHAT THEY ASK, YOU REALLY ONLY NEED
TO TELL THEM HOW MANY PEOPLE LIVE AT YOUR ADDRESS.
While the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial
information, such as a salary range.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT YOUR
FINANCIAL SITUATION.
The Census Bureau will not ask for Social Security, bank
account, or credit card numbers, nor will employees
solicit donations.
Any one asking for that information is NOT with the
Census Bureau.
AND REMEMBER, THE CENSUS BUREAU HAS DECIDED NOT TO WORK
WITH ACORN ON GATHERING THIS INFORMATION. .
No Acorn worker should approach you saying he/she is
with the Census Bureau.
Eventually, Census workers may contact you by telephone,
mail, or in person at home.
However, the Census Bureau will not contact you by
Email, so be on the lookout for Email scams
impersonating the Census.
Never click on a link or open any attachments in an
Email that are supposedly from the U.S.Census Bureau.

visit www.bbb.org
PLEASE SHARE THIS INFO WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. |
