KGW's Kyle Iboshi spoke to 86 experienced burglars about what they look for when they break into a house. Check out tips on how to protect your home here: on.kgw.com/86burglars
You should be focused on the mindset and technique of the perps. The police work that way too. It's the best thing to do. Know your enemy. This also counts for any other case where you're up against someone.
i go to a friends house he has misc change laying everywhere around the house WHY !?!? I DON'T KNOW i never leave cash lying around in my home it's either in the bank or in my pocket expensive valuable items i have hiding places where i only know where it is and not the obvious like a bedroom drawer or closet
The tips he recommends are: Close your bathroom windows. Keep your front door exposed. Keep your drapes and blinds open. Keep a board in your slider doors and 2 locks. Don't leave your mail in your mailbox because it indicates you are not home.
Yourdailygracie # 7 shoot the buglar dead.using a AA12 shot gun. He said thanks for showing us your Tips. Lete drop you off at that house u mentioned. Thanks Again.
Two days in a row and the mail is still there so thats the sign to go ahead with the burglary only to find out thats same day the owners return home and all hell breaks loose!
My home was ALMOST robbed last year. I was the only one home, there were no cars in our driveway. I was actually chilling in the living room, lights off just on my phone. I saw the guy come up to the door, he was looking for keys in the mail box which is where we kept the keys sometimes (had one less key than people). So he must have been spying on us for a while...Anyway there was no key that day, so I got up and knocked on the door from the inside and he ran away so quickly.
I read a lot of comments about people saying they'll shoot a burglar but these cowards don't break into your house while you're home for just that reason, they wait until you're at work or out of town.
My house is never empty, we don't get the mail and we like antique weapons. It's our decor. That might be quite a surprise for some poor sack of meat, someday.
My family's house growing up had a huge, wide-open front yard that my dad spent what seemed like every weekend mowing with a wide porch in front, plainly visible from the road, while our immediate neighbors' house had four or five massive trees in the front yard and a porch that was really high up with steps to it, not on the same level as the street really. These neighbors had their house broken into twice in a span of six years, before they moved out and went to a northern state, while our house was never once so much as trespassed in the 15+ years I lived there. I guess I know why now.
Not by random burglars - the majority of them just want things they can throw in a duffle bag or your own pillow case taken off your bed. Cash, jewelry, small guns, laptops, cell phones, etc. Things they can sell quick. Not many burglars want to carry around a flat screen TV. So you yank a TV off the wall, damage the mounting screws and tear-up the back panel and then sell it for what? This video was about solo, random burglars looking for a quick hit.

A very dangerous profession. A lot of people don't answer the door even when they' re at home if they see someone they don't know. Would be easy to walk in on someone with a gun close by. Then the BEST outcome for the burglar is lying face down while waiting foe the cops.
Bubba Blackmon : Very true. I never answer the door. If someone is knocking on my door, I won't answer, just sit quietly listening for walking on our pea gravel that runs the length of both sides of the house. If that rusty old gate creaks followed by footsteps on the gravel........ That's when I run as fast as possible upstairs and try to punch in the safe code correctly so I can grab a shotgun. Hopefully I can stumble downstairs before the perp has all of my shit loaded in his truck and is pulling away...
Bubba Blackmon I heard a horror story where that happened to a teenager. A neighbors landscaper rang the door Bell and when no one answered they broke in through the bathroom
Natedoc808 : Really....? Honestly though? You have to be pretty serious to rock a pistol on your hip as you cruise around the house in your pajamas! I'm all about being prepared and protecting my family, but comfort and reality have to factor into the situation too. Personally, I lean towards being comfortable after after a long days work... The LAST thing I want to do after a long day at work is strap a heavy ass, bulky, cumbersome war-belt with pistol to my hip.. But thats just my preference? To each their own. ..? -Mark
When I was around 10 a burglar walked in our house UNFORTUNATELY for him my father was sitting in the livingroom with his 357 lucky for him my dad just called the cops
mrbobsshow happen to my family just got home from basic. Guy walked into house...seen me with my dads. 22 think he shit his pants...but he ran like a rabbit. I didn't shoot or call the cops. Ghetto Rat.
robert winton I rather be in jail then dead.... most people who rob houses are armed and you cant take any chances!! If someone in your home you have to protect your family no matter what.
In February last year,around 3 AM i went to sleep after a long day. Everything was quiet,i laid down,3 minutes later i hear some strange noise coming from my house`s back door. At first i thought that it might be a cat but after i heard a loud metal noise that hit the ground i knew it was a burglar. He must have dropped or broken his breaking-in tools.I jumped out of my bed,got a bat and went after the guy but the door was locked with the key inside. Looks like the key saved him from an asswoopin`.
That bit about posing as fake landscaping business with one person out front mowing the lawn while the accomplice breaks in... Man. I never would have thought.
My house was broken into 2 years ago and it lasted 10 minutes. Too bad for the bad guys we caught them due to hidden cameras. Got their car, tag number, face pictures, and finger prints. They had actually broken in several other houses but our house is the one they got caught from.
In my country they break in and they don't care about anything they break in and break everything I think they like to break windows and furniture and in the end they steal the money
8:45 if the alarm goes off.... Wait wait let me interrupt you there and never get back to your crucial thought, because my sense of importance in this conversation is suffering.
State laws do vary, but anyone who enters my home without permission is not going to leave it alive. I have no moral issue with killing a home invader at all.
@@AliBaba-dl4nf Plenty of "kids" have guns today. The circumstances of course vary, but as a general rule I would shoot them, including and perhaps especially if they were a kid, more agile and able than me at middle age. Invading someone's home is one of the worst offenses there is. People have to expect to die if they are willing to risk it. I don't "want" to kill a kid, but would and would without regret if they invaded my home.
That “tip” about leaving the drapes open was pure bs. Do you really want a thief creating a shopping list before breaking into your home? The neighbors are also busy with their own lives to be watching your home. This POS is old because he is good at what he does and is probably STILL doing it so consider the source when listening to this guy’s advice
He's very professional. Great analysis of the houses & made a lot of good points for me to learn from. I love this video for how honest he seems in front of the camera. Usually these guys would blur out faces and change voices but this one didn't hahaha... He's a clever crook. My dog would see him walk in & just play with him ... the other barky one would happily accept treats from him as bribery to shut up. We have a huge mail box that needs a lock to open that probably can't be filled too easily within a week or two of being gone (maybe if we're planning to be gone for 3 weeks+ then will ask someone to grab our mail)- Thought of getting high fences to prevent coyotes from jumping over but now gonna keep them low since they can jump over 8 feet anyway!!! (low fence deter theft) we have cameras all around (probably deters them bc they notice those cams)- our neighbors were robbed.. they avoided our side of cameras though.. (out neighbors have low fence too) but.they went in the other side.. of their home.. I saw cops in the replay video but can't spot out the thief!! Guess we're not getting rid of our alarm system.. but would love to save the monies!! :[
I do too, but you're all talk like everyone else. Everyone who says things like that changes their mind if the person is their family or friend. It's like Narcan - the drug that saves heroin addicts' lives when they overdose. Now, no one in their right mind would give a rats ass if a heroin addict dies since they contribute nothing to society and usually make it worse. But since so many people have children who are heroine addicts these days, they support the use and manufacturing of drugs like Narcan, even though their children are no-good idiots who chose to do drugs and are now stealing shit from other people and their own parents to get their fix.
+nunya biznis nah. if family does it, they deserve what's coming to them. only pathetic people have the double standards. You must be associated with some pathetic people.
To REALLY protect your home, *1.* Get longer and thicker strike plates. This spreads the impact from kicks over a larger area and it takes a LOT more kicks and more powerful kicks to break the door and door jam. *2.* Replace the screws in your strike plates with 3 inch long screws {instead of short screws that come with regular locks}, this makes the strike plates hold up a LOT longer as the screws are MUCH deeper in the wood frame. Also, *3.* "beware of dog" signs out front and on fences leading to your back yard *does* deter a large number of people. Dogs bark, dogs bite, many people are afraid of dogs and no one wants that hassle. *4* Keep the front of your house clear of bushes etc. all the way to the street. *5.* Use wood to place in sliding window tracks. {vertical or horizontal} Make SURE you tell your family this and go over how to lift the wood up etc. in case of fire. VERY simple stuff here people. VERY cheap and EASY ways to really lower the chance of being targeted. I worked for ADT for many years as a salesman, This simple stuff is 95% of the battle. Another simple thing but does cost some money is "window film" it is glued to the inside of the window and when the window is being smashed etc. The glass stays mostly in one piece and you have to hit and hit and hit to make a hole but still it's a small holes and there is broken glass all around it etc. No one will spend minutes making all that noise while seeing how tiny a hole they're making. Also ALWAYS look through the peep hole before opening the door. You can also talk through the door, NO need to open it. If they are selling something etc. Tell them "I'm not interested, please leave". You would be SUPER surprised how many robbers get in the front door, just by knocking and then the door opens. Be safe, think this over and do what you can, all of this is EASY and CHEAP. You and your family deserve to live in reasonable safety.
And The Striker plates aren't gonna do shit when someone drills out the deadbolt and knob, neither will boards when someone cuts glass. Working in the repair business really teaches you shit about break ins
The number of people carrying around power tools to break into homes is extremely low. You can't fortify your house like a prison. You can only do so much. Slowing down 100% of people is all you can do really. Use deterrents like signage, flood lights, get a security system etc. Then strengthen doors and windows {you can have a thick film applied to windows to make them much harder to smash through} to slow burglars down to the point they make so much noise or take so long to get in, that they give up. If someone shows up with a wrecking ball, so be it. You can't make your house a prison.
Whenever I would see someone walking around in the neighborhood that seemed out of place I took mental notes...I would usually stare them down as well...I would also see people driving around scoping things out so that they could tell the criminal how and when...Be careful with these people wanting to do your yard...or your gutters...while they are talking to you their 'friends' are breaking into your back windows...
When I’m driving, if I see someone walking around that looks out of place or a car driving around suspiciously, I always hit the save button on my dash cam and file the video for later. It may be needed later.
Justin define "put me in check". In English. Also: You must live in a sh*thole then, where it's dog eat dog. Pro tip: most people and most places here are actually fairly civilized and don't engage in violence for LOOKS, WORDS, DISRESPECT, STREET CRED, etc. We save it for stuff that matters. You know, like some random savage coming up and laying hands on us. The sad part is it's gonna get you killed one day.
My mom caught a burglar running down the road with all our stuff many years ago. She ran after him and he dropped all the stuff behind him. Got away, unfortunately.
Last night there was some guy trying to get in and I went after him similar to your mom, although he hadn't gotten in yet (I have cameras and saw him out there). I don't know about these guys that are skeptical of the cameras, that seems dumb. So after that happened I called the cops and sent them the footage showing the guys face. Is this what they want? Seems like a short career.
PikaPluff2040 So true. I have never met a reformed thief. In my experience with life, a thief will unfortunately always be a thief. It’s not in the taking, it’s in the thinking.
Tonya Wood The thing here is Ms Woods after you becoming born again by believing in JesusChrist you are a new creation and the holy spirit inside of you guides you telling you what is right and wrong. The word of God (bible) says the person without the spirit does not accept the things that come from the spirit of God but considers them foolishness. God bless you!
Tony I understand your opinion about your religion, I myself, am of a religion and have my own opinions. I didn’t say my comment to offend anyone. I was only stating what my experiences have been and they have not been too good when it comes to people who steal from others, companies, etc. I certainly believe that many can reform from ill deeds but for some reason, stealing seems to be harder for people to rid themselves of the sin.
Tonya Wood Don’t worry I didnt get offended. Religion is of man I just follow Jesus. I used to watch porn, be a fornicator, adulterous but after I became born again Jesus supernaturally took away the need of doing those things from me after I repented from my sins which he already paid for in the cross. Ask Jesus if he is real to reveal to you, he loves too much not to answer you. God bless you!
The psychological damage this man has done to his victims he is obviously unaware. It never goes away and all family members suffer for life at various levels. Be aware that also many break-ins are inside jobs, people you know have done it and it will be obvious if you think about the details. There undetectable traps that can be set and undetectable after they are triggered as well. And then there are pitbull terriers who are loving dogs but not to intruders. There will be DNA left behind.
Years ago, in my city we had a terrible firestorm, much of the city was burning or in danger of being burnt, I was forced to evacuate, neighbors were so frightened they left doors and garages wide open, before I pulled away from my house I witnessed several trucks, two guys in them each,( Hispanics) windows down, looking right and left as they slowly drove thru my neighborhood, news reports following this disaster told of numerous homes being ransacked, be prepared mentally folks to dispense harsh justice when and if disaster hits your town, just a word to the wise.
@@email6743 No, I meant what I said, the correct wording to that age old saying is just as I stated, may I suggest in the future, if you feel the need to correct someone, double check that you have your facts straight,…ouch, huh brian .
0:53 - best time 2 break in home (1:30) - answer is early evenin 4:58 - mailbox is full, knock on door. Then goes 2 back or front door. 6:26 - dog comes 2 door. Depends on the size of the dog. Giant dog, he runs. 7:00 - how long do most home burgalaries last? 10 min.
Bubba Blackmon I’ve left my car open with a note saying that there is nothing to steal I live in this neighborhood, I’m not dumb enough to leave anything in my car. I went down to my car to go to work and found a homeless man passed out in it lol
Seriously... lol... this ex-burglar didn't say anything extraordinary. It is commonsense. It doesn't matter who... they will always look for the WEAKEST ENTRY POINT of YOUR HOUSE. Plus, you NEED to keep all of your doors and windows shut and LOCKED at all time, unless there are a lot of people at home throughout the house. People breaking in don't have concern for the people inside. If he or she has to take you out to get to all of your valuables, THEY WILL and won't give it a second thought.
@@1USAUSA - yeah, you just reiterated everything the burglar said, and you're correct - he was mostly mentioning common sense stuff. But some of it was stuff a regular person would not think of...
@@1USAUSA Yo idk why I'm coming back to this 10 months later but I want you to know that it was a joke about me robbing people, not getting robbed. Thank you for your very professional response though.
This is why I only burglarize commercial businesses, less risky. Security is easy to avoid. Home owners with itchy trigger fingers and big dogs not so much. Better valuables too.
Thank you for posting this so people know how to protect themselves and their homes. However, having multiple large dogs definitely helps. I love my GSD, Husky mix, and looking forward to Akita and Doberman to add to our pack.
Put an American flag outside. I used to do door to door sales and the American flag outside I usually avoided. First off they would never buy anything. Second they were usually grumpy veteran or patriot types who would have no problem shooting you. Of course I'm not a robber and never robbed anyone, but just an observation based on a crappy job I used to do.
Well now we have video doorbells and we don’t have to be home when we answer. I have seen videos where the home owners have told strangers that they are not home which is a huge NO, NO!
I can fix that : Spare me. I have new windows and the energy savings is amazing. Current heating and cooling bill with a heat pump and A/C: $68. Changed to LED bulbs, saved $20 a month.
I can fix that.....You are right. Those new double pane windows are just a sales gimmick and are too damn expensive. They are known to fog up and leak within 20 years and it takes that long to be recouped on the energy savings. My old windows are fine. Just install a thermal shade to save energy costs.
So I’m getting a new house and it is not in the perfect place but it’s very open so people would see you going in. Also my biggest fear is that someone will break in at night so now this helps me not be too scared. I am want so ever no scared that someone would break in, in the morning because I hate to stay home alone so I would never really be home alone. So this is good tips. Thank you for the tips.
Burglars forget to tell a friend or family member where they will be and how long they expect to be gone! So when they end up shot dead and buried, fate at work! Dangerous career choice!
Yeah, when ADT, Cox, and Vivint came to my door claiming that I was "one of the last homes on the block to not be protected" I told them to screw off. If I were to get a system it'd be wireless with cameras and glass shatter sensors connected with my phone and the local police station, which are far more of a deterrent according to pro-burglars, than these mass market, monthly subscription types.
We bought the best safe we could find. It is bolted to the concrete of our garage. All of my jewelry well, that’s hidden in places around the house. Not in my jewelry drawer not in my dresser drawer not under a mattress and I’m certainly not gonna tell you here on CZcams. But use your imagination. Don’t hide your jewelry in your room or any of the places that he mentioned because that’s the first place they are going to go to. I don’t even keep my jewelry in the safe. And this criminal should be in prison.
Outdated perspective regarding security systems, cameras and alarms being expensive these days. Under $1000 you can have Basic security system with cameras that are motion/temperature/light changes activated that records to the Cloud. Additionally most have ability to Text or Notify the home owner on Mobile. Bedroom is where items with more value or guns are stored. Lastly some homeowners have insurance (deductible?) that covers Burglary or Theft.
I just had my house broke into today. Back door broken around 9am. I was up late studying for my final exams so I was fast asleep. They came into my bedroom to me just about waking up and they bolted out.
He said in the bedroom that’s where the safes are, what does he do when he encounters a safe? Are safes worth getting? What if it’s bolted down and burglar rated does he just leave it or focus his energy on the safe..? Wish he spoke more on the safe thing
Whenever we leave the house on a trip, I try not to leave the car trunk open as I pack the car on the driveway because an open car trunk with luggage inside signals people going away for an extended period of time.
The sign outside myself does not say ADT. It says.......... “We dont call 911, no prisoners will be taken” The two houses on both sides of mine have been burglarized. The one infront had an attempted break in. Why has mine been ignored? Jeez I will never know. 2nd amendment! Use it
Any good videos on tips to do for apartments? I'm trying to make my apartment less attractive and harder to get into, but everything I look up is concerning homes. Apartments get broken into also!
These things come across as way more educational for a prospective burglar than a person trying to secure a home. So many of the tips and tricks he talks about aren’t things you can do much about.
I learned more about how to Rob than how to avoid being robbed
1 tip, dont hide jewelry in your bedrooms. Hide it in a bathroom
zom bone nice any other tips? Lol
You should be focused on the mindset and technique of the perps. The police work that way too. It's the best thing to do. Know your enemy. This also counts for any other case where you're up against someone.

I feel bad for whoevers House's these are, just watching the news and hearing your house is perfect to rob
lmao fr
Unless you live on that street kinda hard to know where this is located

Close your bathroom windows.
Keep your front door exposed.
Keep your drapes and blinds open.
Keep a board in your slider doors and 2 locks.
Don't leave your mail in your mailbox because it indicates you are not home.

That's not true I was home when my house was broken into. But I work from home and I guess the robber wasnt expecting me to be there.
there not cowards for not wanting to get shot
My family's house growing up had a huge, wide-open front yard that my dad spent what seemed like every weekend mowing with a wide porch in front, plainly visible from the road, while our immediate neighbors' house had four or five massive trees in the front yard and a porch that was really high up with steps to it, not on the same level as the street really. These neighbors had their house broken into twice in a span of six years, before they moved out and went to a northern state, while our house was never once so much as trespassed in the 15+ years I lived there.

No one steals TVs anymore, just take Phones, tablets, laptops, cash and jewlery.

State laws do vary, but anyone who enters my home without permission is not going to leave it alive. I have no moral issue with killing a home invader at all.
What if it was just a kid, you would easily shoot anyone if they entered your home, even if they were surrendering.
@@AliBaba-dl4nf Plenty of "kids" have guns today. The circumstances of course vary, but as a general rule I would shoot them, including and perhaps especially if they were a kid, more agile and able than me at middle age. Invading someone's home is one of the worst offenses there is. People have to expect to die if they are willing to risk it. I don't "want" to kill a kid, but would and would without regret if they invaded my home.
Sounds like a lot of detective interviews and courtroom time.

@@chrishansen4698 yeah, post it
I'm just trying to get in my house
🤣🤣
That “tip” about leaving the drapes open was pure bs.
Do you really want a thief creating a shopping list before breaking into your home?
The neighbors are also busy with their own lives to be watching your home.
This POS is old because he is good at what he does and is probably STILL doing it so consider the source when listening to this guy’s advice
I thought the same thing. Seemed like he wanted to make it easier for thefts to happen. I sure as hell wouldn't want people looking through my windows
Fr, he's literally giving reverse psychology
His telling the viewers to keep their drapes up to make burglary easier for himself
Bathroom window? I don't think I've ever opened the bathroom window.
JonO387 lol I don’t even have a bathroom window
Mine is so tiny you would need a trained squirrel to crawl in for you.
JonO387 all the windows in my house are locked and painted shut lol
Never ate refried beans then maybe.
Somebody thinks their shit don't stink... literally XD
He's very professional. Great analysis of the houses & made a lot of good points for me to learn from. I love this video for how honest he seems in front of the camera. Usually these guys would blur out faces and change voices but this one didn't hahaha... He's a clever crook. My dog would see him walk in & just play with him ... the other barky one would happily accept treats from him as bribery to shut up.
We have a huge mail box that needs a lock to open that probably can't be filled too easily within a week or two of being gone (maybe if we're planning to be gone for 3 weeks+ then will ask someone to grab our mail)- Thought of getting high fences to prevent coyotes from jumping over but now gonna keep them low since they can jump over 8 feet anyway!!! (low fence deter theft) we have cameras all around (probably deters them bc they notice those cams)- our neighbors were robbed.. they avoided our side of cameras though.. (out neighbors have low fence too) but.they went in the other side.. of their home.. I saw cops in the replay video but can't spot out the thief!!
Guess we're not getting rid of our alarm system.. but would love to save the monies!! :[
Pretending to be people walking for exercise. I've had that happen.

Thanks for great tips! Don't get caught guys
I only check the mail once or twice a week. It's all junk mail anyway... does that mean I'm going to be robbed?
Yeah, same here. I only check mine like once a week or so.
Yes
I always have advocated the amputation of the hands of burglars upon conviction.
I do too, but you're all talk like everyone else. Everyone who says things like that changes their mind if the person is their family or friend. It's like Narcan - the drug that saves heroin addicts' lives when they overdose. Now, no one in their right mind would give a rats ass if a heroin addict dies since they contribute nothing to society and usually make it worse. But since so many people have children who are heroine addicts these days, they support the use and manufacturing of drugs like Narcan, even though their children are no-good idiots who chose to do drugs and are now stealing shit from other people and their own parents to get their fix.
Go to Saudi Arabia and sign up to be a policeman mate, You can cut the hands off burglars all day long.
Narcan = survival of the weak.

nah. if family does it, they deserve what's coming to them.
only pathetic people have the double standards. You must be associated with some pathetic people.
I hope he is a reformed person! Thank you for your information.
Helpful information, thank you!
Did the news just showed as how to rob a house?
To REALLY protect your home, *1.* Get longer and thicker strike plates. This spreads the impact from kicks over a larger area and it takes a LOT more kicks and more powerful kicks to break the door and door jam. *2.* Replace the screws in your strike plates with 3 inch long screws {instead of short screws that come with regular locks}, this makes the strike plates hold up a LOT longer as the screws are MUCH deeper in the wood frame. Also, *3.* "beware of dog" signs out front and on fences leading to your back yard *does* deter a large number of people. Dogs bark, dogs bite, many people are afraid of dogs and no one wants that hassle. *4* Keep the front of your house clear of bushes etc. all the way to the street. *5.* Use wood to place in sliding window tracks. {vertical or horizontal} Make SURE you tell your family this and go over how to lift the wood up etc. in case of fire. VERY simple stuff here people. VERY cheap and EASY ways to really lower the chance of being targeted. I worked for ADT for many years as a salesman, This simple stuff is 95% of the battle. Another simple thing but does cost some money is "window film" it is glued to the inside of the window and when the window is being smashed etc. The glass stays mostly in one piece and you have to hit and hit and hit to make a hole but still it's a small holes and there is broken glass all around it etc. No one will spend minutes making all that noise while seeing how tiny a hole they're making. Also ALWAYS look through the peep hole before opening the door. You can also talk through the door, NO need to open it. If they are selling something etc. Tell them "I'm not interested, please leave". You would be SUPER surprised how many robbers get in the front door, just by knocking and then the door opens. Be safe, think this over and do what you can, all of this is EASY and CHEAP. You and your family deserve to live in reasonable safety.
And The Striker plates aren't gonna do shit when someone drills out the deadbolt and knob, neither will boards when someone cuts glass. Working in the repair business really teaches you shit about break ins
The number of people carrying around power tools to break into homes is extremely low. You can't fortify your house like a prison. You can only do so much. Slowing down 100% of people is all you can do really. Use deterrents like signage, flood lights, get a security system etc. Then strengthen doors and windows {you can have a thick film applied to windows to make them much harder to smash through} to slow burglars down to the point they make so much noise or take so long to get in, that they give up. If someone shows up with a wrecking ball, so be it. You can't make your house a prison.
Don't forget a machine gun, land mines and a rabid shark moat 🦈
Unless they give your Animal fentanyl
Whenever I would see someone walking around in the neighborhood that seemed out of place I took mental notes...I would usually stare them down as well...I would also see people driving around scoping things out so that they could tell the criminal how and when...Be careful with these people wanting to do your yard...or your gutters...while they are talking to you their 'friends' are breaking into your back windows...
No way to know
I pull out my phone and take pictures of people and cars that might be sketchy and I let them see me doing it.
When I’m driving, if I see someone walking around that looks out of place or a car driving around suspiciously, I always hit the save button on my dash cam and file the video for later. It may be needed later.
your a smart lady, all good advice.
Justin define "put me in check". In English. Also: You must live in a sh*thole then, where it's dog eat dog. Pro tip: most people and most places here are actually fairly civilized and don't engage in violence for LOOKS, WORDS, DISRESPECT, STREET CRED, etc. We save it for stuff that matters. You know, like some random savage coming up and laying hands on us. The sad part is it's gonna get you killed one day.
thanks for the tips
If the mail box is full that sometimes means people are too broke to pay their bills. They don't even check it because they know it's BILLS lol
4:13 Basically anyone who lives there watching this video became paranoid of home invasions
Thank you so much for the good advice. It will come in handy in my chosen career.
Imagine watching this and seeing your house as the burgler says it's an easy target
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My mom caught a burglar running down the road with all our stuff many years ago. She ran after him and he dropped all the stuff behind him. Got away, unfortunately.
Last night there was some guy trying to get in and I went after him similar to your mom, although he hadn't gotten in yet (I have cameras and saw him out there). I don't know about these guys that are skeptical of the cameras, that seems dumb. So after that happened I called the cops and sent them the footage showing the guys face. Is this what they want? Seems like a short career.
@@SirenaSpades I hope you are safe and well after that traumatic event. I don't know what drives people to do these things. Probably desperation.
Once a burglar, always a burglar...
Unless you give your life to Christ and truly repent from your sins.
PikaPluff2040 So true. I have never met a reformed thief. In my experience with life, a thief will unfortunately always be a thief. It’s not in the taking, it’s in the thinking.
Tonya Wood The thing here is Ms Woods after you becoming born again by believing in JesusChrist you are a new creation and the holy spirit inside of you guides you telling you what is right and wrong. The word of God (bible) says the person without the spirit does not accept the things that come from the spirit of God but considers them foolishness. God bless you!
Tony I understand your opinion about your religion, I myself, am of a religion and have my own opinions. I didn’t say my comment to offend anyone. I was only stating what my experiences have been and they have not been too good when it comes to people who steal from others, companies, etc. I certainly believe that many can reform from ill deeds but for some reason, stealing seems to be harder for people to rid themselves of the sin.
Tonya Wood Don’t worry I didnt get offended. Religion is of man I just follow Jesus. I used to watch porn, be a fornicator, adulterous but after I became born again Jesus supernaturally took away the need of doing those things from me after I repented from my sins which he already paid for in the cross. Ask Jesus if he is real to reveal to you, he loves too much not to answer you. God bless you!
The psychological damage this man has done to his victims he is obviously unaware. It never goes away and all family members suffer for life at various levels.
Be aware that also many break-ins are inside jobs, people you know have done it and it will be obvious if you think about the details.
There undetectable traps that can be set and undetectable after they are triggered as well.
And then there are pitbull terriers who are loving dogs but not to intruders. There will be DNA left behind.
Very well said,all true.
Wear latex gloves a covid mask and a ski mask with all over black suit, it is a perfect strat for every day business
Lol
Thanks for the tutorial!
Years ago, in my city we had a terrible firestorm, much of the city was burning or in danger of being burnt, I was forced to evacuate, neighbors were so frightened they left doors and garages wide open, before I pulled away from my house I witnessed several trucks, two guys in them each,( Hispanics) windows down, looking right and left as they slowly drove thru my neighborhood, news reports following this disaster told of numerous homes being ransacked, be prepared mentally folks to dispense harsh justice when and if disaster hits your town, just a word to the wise.
You mean a word to be wise
@@email6743 No, I meant what I said, the correct wording to that age old saying is just as I stated, may I suggest in the future, if you feel the need to correct someone, double check that you have your facts straight,…ouch, huh brian .
0:53 - best time 2 break in home (1:30) - answer is early evenin
4:58 - mailbox is full, knock on door. Then goes 2 back or front door.
6:26 - dog comes 2 door. Depends on the size of the dog. Giant dog, he runs.
7:00 - how long do most home burgalaries last? 10 min.
Well, at least with the fake landscaping approach you get your lawn mowed for free :) LMAO
😆 agree
New York is famous for smash and grab car theft. I saw a sign in a car that read " No radio no nuthin".
Bubba Blackmon I’ve left my car open with a note saying that there is nothing to steal I live in this neighborhood, I’m not dumb enough to leave anything in my car. I went down to my car to go to work and found a homeless man passed out in it lol
Then you come back to a smashed window with a note on the seat, "just checkin'" ;O)
I enjoyed this thanks.
Beautiful neighborhood
Great tips! Ill definitely remember this for next time!
Seriously... lol... this ex-burglar didn't say anything extraordinary. It is commonsense. It doesn't matter who... they will always look for the WEAKEST ENTRY POINT of YOUR HOUSE. Plus, you NEED to keep all of your doors and windows shut and LOCKED at all time, unless there are a lot of people at home throughout the house. People breaking in don't have concern for the people inside. If he or she has to take you out to get to all of your valuables, THEY WILL and won't give it a second thought.
@@1USAUSA - yeah, you just reiterated everything the burglar said, and you're correct - he was mostly mentioning common sense stuff. But some of it was stuff a regular person would not think of...
@@1USAUSA Yo idk why I'm coming back to this 10 months later but I want you to know that it was a joke about me robbing people, not getting robbed. Thank you for your very professional response though.
thank you now i can finally pay off my debt
This is why I only burglarize commercial businesses, less risky. Security is easy to avoid. Home owners with itchy trigger fingers and big dogs not so much. Better valuables too.
That's one long ride to the police department
Thank you for posting this so people know how to protect themselves and their homes. However, having multiple large dogs definitely helps. I love my GSD, Husky mix, and looking forward to Akita and Doberman to add to our pack.
Put an American flag outside. I used to do door to door sales and the American flag outside I usually avoided. First off they would never buy anything. Second they were usually grumpy veteran or patriot types who would have no problem shooting you. Of course I'm not a robber and never robbed anyone, but just an observation based on a crappy job I used to do.
@KyleIboshi, I would like to see an updated version that gets a thief's perspective on security cameras.
Well now we have video doorbells and we don’t have to be home when we answer. I have seen videos where the home owners have told strangers that they are not home which is a huge NO, NO!
Burglarized is when nobody is home, robbed is when someone sticks you up
Home invasion is when they come in the house, and you are inside.
I never answer the door when someone knocks. Break in and get shot.
Hell check for cars
Good video- Its about 5-6 yrs old and home security systems are VERY affordable today.
love how the burglar said about the handicapped house, "he's proabaly home because he has nothing to do"...
This was a total lie, watch that section again without sound and watch his behavior.
Keep your old windows they will last you over 200 years compared to new wich will last 20 at the most
I can fix that that sounds exactly like what a robber would say!
I can fix that : Spare me. I have new windows and the energy savings is amazing. Current heating and cooling bill with a heat pump and A/C: $68. Changed to LED bulbs, saved $20 a month.
I can fix that.....You are right. Those new double pane windows are just a sales gimmick and are too damn expensive. They are known to fog up and leak within 20 years and it takes that long to be recouped on the energy savings. My old windows are fine. Just install a thermal shade to save energy costs.
I have my old double pane windows and awnings. The awnings keep the house cool and the windows clean.
Dude sounds like he still does it
He never talk about breaking windows
So I’m getting a new house and it is not in the perfect place but it’s very open so people would see you going in. Also my biggest fear is that someone will break in at night so now this helps me not be too scared. I am want so ever no scared that someone would break in, in the morning because I hate to stay home alone so I would never really be home alone. So this is good tips. Thank you for the tips.
Pro Tipp: Check the letters and car hoods.
Kyle is taking notes istg
Mail in the mailbox is a huge clue that no one is home.
My "neighbor " is a AR -15.
He'll be sure to take it and pawn it when you're not home
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Love it :))))))))
and "like a goooood neeeeeighbor... AR is there.."
Good defense tool, but it doesn't help you when you aren't home, and the extreme majority of these incidences happen when you aren't home.
Aaron Thomas 😂😂😂🔫😂😂
if u "hurt" the theif, the bushes will obscure it.
Burglars forget to tell a friend or family member where they will be and how long they expect to be gone! So when they end up shot dead and buried, fate at work! Dangerous career choice!
Depends on the country you're in.
We need to know who bill for the wasted ammo and damage to property.
Good to know!
Yeah, when ADT, Cox, and Vivint came to my door claiming that I was "one of the last homes on the block to not be protected" I told them to screw off. If I were to get a system it'd be wireless with cameras and glass shatter sensors connected with my phone and the local police station, which are far more of a deterrent according to pro-burglars, than these mass market, monthly subscription types.
This is coming from a man who knows. Very professional advise on how,to hit a house. He should give seminars and charge $200.00 per head.
And while everybody is at the seminar his buddies are breaking into their homes.
We bought the best safe we could find. It is bolted to the concrete of our garage. All of my jewelry well, that’s hidden in places around the house. Not in my jewelry drawer not in my dresser drawer not under a mattress and I’m certainly not gonna tell you here on CZcams. But use your imagination. Don’t hide your jewelry in your room or any of the places that he mentioned because that’s the first place they are going to go to. I don’t even keep my jewelry in the safe. And this criminal should be in prison.
My mom got robbed. They took some checks she didn’t miss for a while, but her jewelry was in the freezer in a can marked bacon fat. Worked for her.
Outdated perspective regarding security systems, cameras and alarms being expensive these days. Under $1000 you can have Basic security system with cameras that are motion/temperature/light changes activated that records to the Cloud. Additionally most have ability to Text or Notify the home owner on Mobile. Bedroom is where items with more value or guns are stored. Lastly some homeowners have insurance (deductible?) that covers Burglary or Theft.
I just had my house broke into today. Back door broken around 9am. I was up late studying for my final exams so I was fast asleep. They came into my bedroom to me just about waking up and they bolted out.
Plot Twist: They were actually scoping the houses to break into them
This seems interesting
Too bad that guy didn’t catch a 5.56 at some point.
He seems nice.
Well now he's giving tips on how to avoid burglaries, so at the end of the day he may be doing more good than harm.
You mean .223
Nah 7.62x39 to make sure he really takes a permanent nap
Mark 3:27
No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.
Now days 85 percent of homeowners have security cameras inside and out. The burglar may initially get away, but eventually be caught.
The easiest way for me is use a crow bar to pry open window it’s quiet and it’s effective works every time
facinating
And when the car trip ends, they arrived at the local jail. “You played yourself my friend.”
Thanks for “stealing 101” class.
He is a nice burglar. I wish him much success for breaking into homes in the future!
He said in the bedroom that’s where the safes are, what does he do when he encounters a safe? Are safes worth getting? What if it’s bolted down and burglar rated does he just leave it or focus his energy on the safe..? Wish he spoke more on the safe thing
That's unsafe
Whenever we leave the house on a trip, I try not to leave the car trunk open as I pack the car on the driveway because an open car trunk with luggage inside signals people going away for an extended period of time.
The sign outside myself does not say ADT. It says..........
“We dont call 911, no prisoners will be taken”
The two houses on both sides of mine have been burglarized. The one infront had an attempted break in. Why has mine been ignored? Jeez I will never know.
2nd amendment! Use it
Keeping up with your landscaping and trimming trees/hedges goes a long way.
Can’t find a job……now I am here
Any good videos on tips to do for apartments? I'm trying to make my apartment less attractive and harder to get into, but everything I look up is concerning homes. Apartments get broken into also!
Make it ugly and uninviting
We have many deterrents surrounding our place of residence
justicecarly Sorry but no one is ever 100% safe from break ins. They know all the tricks
These things come across as way more educational for a prospective burglar than a person trying to secure a home. So many of the tips and tricks he talks about aren’t things you can do much about.
Welp, now i know what i'm doing this weekend.
You alive?
