THIRTEEN THINGS YOUR BURGLAR WON'T TELL YOU : I am particularly interested in the part about the wasp spray... 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 http://www.faketv/ ..com/) 8 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. Sources: Convicted burglars in North Carolina , Oregon , California , and Kentucky ; security consultant Chris McGoey, who runs http://www.crimedoctor.com/ and Richard T. Wright, a criminology professor at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, who interviewed 105 burglars for his book Burglars on the Job. Protection for you and your home: If you don't have a gun, here's a more humane way to wreck someone's evil plans for you.. (I guess I can get rid of the baseball bat.): WASP SPRAY A friend who is a receptionist in a church in a high risk area was concerned about someone coming into the office on Monday to rob them when they were counting the collection. She asked the local police department about using pepper spray and they recommended to her that she get a can of wasp spray instead. The wasp spray, they told her, can shoot up to twenty feet away and is a lot more accurate, while with the pepper spray, they have to get too close to you and could overpower you. The wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until they get to the hospital for an antidote. She keeps a can on her desk in the office and it doesn't attract attention from people like a can of pepper spray would. She also keeps one nearby at home for home protection. Thought this was interesting and might be of use. FROM ANOTHER SOURCE.... On the heels of a break-in and beating that left an elderly woman in Toledo dead, self-defense experts have a tip that could save your life. Val Glinka teaches self-defense to students at Sylvania Southview High School . For decades, he's suggested putting a can of wasp and hornet spray near your door or bed. Glinka says, "This is better than anything I can teach them." Glinka considers it inexpensive, easy to find, and more effective than mace or pepper spray. The cans typically shoot 20 to 30 feet; so if someone tries to break into your home, Glinka says, "spray the culprit in the eyes". It's a tip he's given to students for decades. It's also one he wants everyone to hear. If you're looking for protection, Glinka says look to the spray. "That's going to give you a chance to call the police; maybe get out." Maybe even save a life. Put your car keys beside your bed at night. Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your parents, your Dr.'s office, the check-out girl at the market, everyone you run across. Put your car keys beside your bed at night. If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies. This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this: It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won't stick around. After a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that. And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there. This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime. P.S. I am sending this to everyone I know because I think it is fantastic. Would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a phone. My Mom has suggested to my Dad that he carry his car keys with him in case he falls outside and she doesn't hear him. He can activate the car alarm and then she'll know there's a problem. Please pass this on even IF you've read it before. It's a reminder. Please share this with all the people in your life.

Last Nov. a group of African American teens beat a 25 year old man to death. When questioned, the leader said they were "bored". A week ago Sat. a group of 7 younger teens (again, African American) were out trying to break windows. They ganged up on a friend of ours who was crossing the street from where he parked his car to go into a restaurant and beat him on the back of his head. He was injured but not seriously. Again they said they were bored. Both happened in New London, CT. My daughter and grand daughter have been going to art galleries down there with their crafts; now son-in-law says no more New London. City council and school superintendent have no clue what to do...so far no one has suggested 10 years hard labor MINIMUM. Looking instead at throwing more money at it. More for them to do!! Do they seriously figure that kids with this gang mentality will stop beating people to play bingo and basketball? Am I furious? Don't ask.

In my never very humble opinion, kids don't realize how fatal "fatal" is or how injurious a shooting or other violent act can be, even if it isn't fatal. (I do realize the shooter in Placerville is an adult.) And they deduce from TV, movies, games, & real life that violence really never does much harm, and that the way to settle your differences and/or get what you want is to use violence. And they are pretty certain nothing bad will actually ever happen to them. Their brains just haven't grown up enough to put it all together. And one thing that gripes me ... at trial, the relatives of violent perpetrators announce to the world that they are really "good kids" that just made a little error in judgment. Not my idea of good kids. In January in Seattle a teen who had been in juvenile detention for killing Edward McMichael, known as the Tuba Man, "and police say he bragged about killing the beloved Seattle figure. The recent incident happened less than two weeks after he was released from jail for another felony." http://www.komonews.com/news/local/114187579.html Where is this "good kid" getting his lessons from? There are plenty more violent acts I could complain about, of course ... but I'm putting my soapbox away. Connie > > I'm glad to know where the shooting happened.

I'm glad to know where the shooting happened. All I ever heard was northern California. My girlfriend lived in Pollock Pines, which is just past Placerville.

Ollav here. My birthday is 8 Feb. Viola.

Robert, My youngest son suggested the DPW get flame throwers and drive around melting snow piles-sounds like a plan! The snow has been piled up to second story balconies here! It is so dark and gloomy out-if the sun would break through some one of these days it would cheer up many gloomy folks! I keep singing the song from "Annie", "The Sun will Come Out Tomorrow"--ya think? Helen

Well, the big storm has quit and now more clean up is going on--they have run out of places to pile or dump snow-so it is a true mess here! One company got caught dumping huge amounts of trucked snow into a local river and will be fired, fined and who knows as the snow is contaminated and the river is a source of drinking water for certain towns! This was going on in the wee hours of the morning but they did get caught! I really wish it was spring but can only dream! Take care and pray, no more big storms until some of this melts or disappears! Helen

Helen, If it does get worse don't be surprised if they ask all able bodied gals to get their hair driers and report for duty.

There was a shooting at my Grandsons school in Placerville, CA. All the kids are fine the janitor shoot the principal. Please say a prayer for these kids as we don't know yet about the emotional fall out. Barbara

I grew up in Michigan so I know winter too. Ohio has it's share of snow . We are coming out of the latest storm. We had snow, freezing rain and sleet. It's down to snow today. We haven't seen bare ground since the beginning of January. It's beautiful but come on! Enough is enough.

The official snowfall for my area is 20 inches. Most on record. I'm in NE Oklahoma, on Grand Lake. Near Miami, Vinita and Grove. Just off interstate 44. (The Will Rogers Turnpike). There are drifts on the road in front of my house four and five feet deep. It is -5 degrees here right now.
