21 Things a Burglar Won’t Tell You and Other Tips​


  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 … & taste means there are nice things inside.
  4. Those yard toys your kids leave out always make me wonder what type of gaming system they have.
  5. Yes, I really do look for newspapers piled up on the driveway. & I might leave a pizza flyer in your front door to see how long it takes you to remove it.
  6. If it snows while you’re out of town, get a neighbor to create car & foot tracks into the house. Virgin drifts in the driveway are a dead giveaway.
  7. 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.
  8. A good security co. alarms the window over the sink & the windows on the 2nd floor, which often access the master bedroom & your jewelry. It’s not a bad idea to put motion detectors up there too.
  9. It’s raining, you’re fumbling with your umbrella, & you forget to lock your door – understandable. But understand this: I don’t take a day off because of bad weather.
  10. 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.)
  11. Do you really think I won’t look in your sock drawer? I always check dresser drawers, the bedside table, & the medicine cabinet.
  12. Here’s a helpful hint: I almost never go into kids’ rooms.
  13. 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.
  14. Sometimes, I carry a clipboard. Sometimes, I dress like a lawn guy & carry a rake. I do my best to never, ever, look like a crook.
  15. The two things I hate most: loud dogs & nosy neighbors.
  16. 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 & 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.
  17. I’m not complaining, but why would you pay all that money for a fancy alarm system & leave your house without setting it?
  18. I love looking in your windows. I’m looking for signs that you’re home, & 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.
  19. Avoid announcing your vacation on your Facebook page. It’s easier than you think to look up your address.
  20. 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.
  21. If you don’t answer when I knock, I try the door. Occasionally, I hit the jackpot & walk right in.

She does, apparently. It's unfortunate, but the driver will be held responsible for her stupidity. At least that's how it works in NJ...

I'm only hoping she was drunk for whatever reason they survive stuff like this better because they don't tense up when they see shit about to hit the fan.

Video of jaywalking woman getting into accident at Orchard Road goes viral, sparking sympathy for driver​

SINGAPORE: A serious traffic accident occurred in the early hours of this morning at the intersection of Orchard Road and Handy Road. According to dashboard camera footage posted on the Singaporeroadsaccident.com Facebook page, a woman was struck by a speeding vehicle while crossing the road, seemingly distracted by her mobile phone.

The video reveals that the pedestrian traffic light on the sidewalk had turned red as the woman continued to cross the road. She appeared to be scrolling on her phone, unaware of the oncoming vehicle.

The car, which had a green light at the time, approached the intersection and could not brake in time to avoid a collision. The impact knocked the woman several meters forward, where she landed heavily in front of the vehicle.

In the aftermath of the accident, the video shows the driver reacting in shock and exiting the vehicle to check on the woman, who was visibly shaken but attempted to sit up after the incident.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force has since confirmed that they received a report of the accident at 3:15am and that one individual was conveyed to Tan Tock Seng Hospital for medical treatment. Investigations are ongoing.

The incident has ignited a debate online, with many netizens weighing in on pedestrian safety. Some commenters expressed frustration with the woman’s apparent inattention, asserting that pedestrians must be responsible for their own safety and should not play with their mobile phones while crossing the road.

Others sympathized with the driver, expressing hope that he will not be blamed.
