Eight Things a Burglar Won’t Tell You

Should you spend your money on a home security system? A look inside a burglar’s mind might help you decide.

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 your home,I unlatched the back window to make my return a little easier.

3.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 which I am more than happy to accept.
