Before we get into the topic at hand. I will give you a little background information on myself. I have worked in Law Enforcement over the last 37 years. Prior to entering the Law Enforcement field, I was employed by a National retail chain as a Loss Prevention Officer. Promoted to a Manger of Loss prevention, for that same National Retailer. I was employed for three years in loss prevention prior to entering the Law Enforcement field. I was deemed an expert witness in our local court, Following retail theft. The Department of Corrections introduced myself as a correction officer or guard if they want better. Were transported to a prison counselor and found that the work of three years in prison in Salinas Valley State. Correctional Counselor in my job required me to read the file of a prisoner. These files contain records of all criminals "and court documents. In addition to reading your log files, also met with them and was surprised to see howthen right when he talks about his criminal history and crimes were committed. Because of confidentiality can not provide specific information about one of these files, but it is possible, based on the aggregation of information I had access to generalize. Over the years, I have the feeling that some 2,400 prisoners for their crimes, as they did, why and how you look when you are prompted for the choice of victims.
I divided this type of offenders in three areasCategories
1. Career criminals.
2. Criminals in search of a career.
3. Addicts and criminals to move in time.
Professional criminals are very intelligent. Its purpose is to steal or smaller, the property more profitable with minimal risk of exposure or capture. This change, change the way we work to vary the types of specific products and change their appearance and behavior. These are the professional thief, thief,It is the impostor. As many have said, there is nothing that can not be stolen. No security or device, able to overcome or circumvented. The one thing you can do alarms, locks and latches, the delay in its entry. The time it takes to defeat any security system is likely to be covered. The practitioner wants to know what valuables in your home or office is located. As is easy to convert illiquid assets into cash involved and Lay-out and security. Itup to several weeks to collect this information, if the value of the items are perfect. We will first look for a nice area, clean large house, luxury cars. They dress like a runner not to attract attention to himself, and most people running when going to work. An assessment of potential victims, depending on how they dress, expensive clothes, shoes, watches, cars, condition of the garage, dirty or clean and tidy. He began his list ofpotential victims. A few days later, walking a dog is shown.
This gives them more time for check-out area. Ensure the security of systems, when the stay is empty or occupied. At this point we will review the potential victims and reduce the list to more than one residence. The next step is to enter the residence groped to control security systems, locking doors and windows. Rates within the establishment, and, if possible, the target element of high cost and locationhome. To do this, to act as a salesman door to door, neighbor looking for his lost dog, a person of a local survey. They appear as something that is suspicious and character to the area of destination. Re-evaluation to identify potential victims, and the residence or place of business, which is a victim. Many of these people are not considered victims. The victim has insurance problems, no loss, suffering only concernInsurance companies. The professional design their own plan of operations. These would include entering the area, or items that must be sought. It 'time they spend in the area within the target value, and theft. The next objective of the race, the date and time of his crimes. The victim is not an alarm system, door locks are standard in this particular case, and the man and the woman had left home at 8:15 and the clocknot again until 5:30 on the first watch. The professional hired to help a person known and trusted. They bought clothes, sewn into a label. He rented a truck plate with a hydraulic system, hand trucks, blankets and used for the motel room. At 9:00 on the clock went home with a table with an order form following model to obtain the name and address of the victim for points. The dentist approached the bell, waitedjust to make sure that no one answered the door. He entered the door with little or no effort.
In the next few hours, you remove all the furniture, paintings, jewelry and other valuables loaded on the truck. When loading a neighbor to them and spoke with him for several minutes and had no idea what really happened. They left the apartment and went to his agent, has sold the goods and keep the money. Foundhis room and left the city before 3:00. This candidate has been arrested after the raid on a coin dealer in the parking lot of an exchange program. The police went to his room and wanted to leave, when an officer noticed a gold coin on the floor under a chair. He received 8 years in prison for 41 / 2 years left of good weather. About 6 months later I saw him again in prison. He received a term of 18 months for the illegal transport of firearms. When he was captured immediately make claimsguilty because the judges had not received prior to registration. Eighteen months instead of 11 years, a good deal any day of the week. When asked what his crime was related to the detention, he said, about 100-1. Intend to once every 100 crimes are caught. E 'was arrested, found in adults of about 10 times. The number of victims was that?
The second group is looking for a career criminal. In general, this kind of fall in the area of a gang member or want-to-be. Are looking for a quickmake money and most often taught by a friend or another member of the band. This guy is a bit 'of work to do on foot, but not so much the height or the attention to detail the pros. Normally, someone said that the house or the person who did this and something else, and that would be easy. This includes a rule, a unit of area, only the installation, operation, or the victim to see. His friend, or others have said, what is there, and the approximate timeResidents in the center and rear left, and if the residence is occupied, as usual, or is empty, and if a dog or not. The size of the plan. You can go down a side street parking near the plant to achieve. If a dog will bring a piece of meat with it. If the dog meat, which, if they are not. Are potential victims, which are a sort of alarm system. If you can not open the windows to break andsend to unlock. Entrance is in cash, credit cards, jewelry, electronics and light weapons. If you can not try to leave a cushion in Put, it is not evident here. They want to remain what they want and sell as a rule, the rest to a friend or someone in the street, ready to buy. This type of relationship is 20-1 They believe the victim and the insurance money in any way, really does not matter.
The thirdgroup, drug user’s and spur of the moment thieves. These guy’s have no planning, no thought process. They are opportunist’s, they see an item in your car in plain view, they break the window and take it. They see your garage door open and no one around, they walk in grab something and leave. Sell it for however much they need for their drug of choice. These guy’s are the same one’s that will shoplift, cigarettes, alcohol, or any store item they can walk in, grab, and get out. In California for for a while 'before the law was a robbery is a crime, whether the suspect has previous convictions for theft, the crime that the drug of choice seducer. One year or less in the county jail without problems. Try to his wife, the girlfriend of her son, his son, who did not care. When I was a probation officer, the wife of a probation officer called me the week before Christmas, I was told that he had drugs and stolen credit cards. After he was arrested the woman asked him why he had called and wantedstop. He said it will restart with the drug. Last year, I went and drugs. Before Christmas, gave me a kick in the back door, like a flight, and took the child, Christmas and sold it to buy drugs. She did not have permission to do so again. This type have a ratio of 10 to 1
The question now is how to protect yourself and your property? You can spend $ 1000.00 's of dollars, so most of us do not orassessing what will be lost on what you are willing a. The most convenient is to install lighting around your home. Night thief wants to be seen. Patio motion detectors, and the beautiful front door light work. Install timers for TV and the lights in the house, making it appear that someone is at home. Clean the brush and shrubs away from doors and windows, do not give them a place to hide until you stop thinking about the fact that the doors and locks are made so thatand the molding around the door. I broke several doors in search of suspects, and it is amazing how easy it is to put in a standard lock. More lock is the best and safest in the area is closed, it is more open to the brakes.
The easiest and cheapest and best I've seen to ensure a door is to make a hole in the concrete base inside the door and a metal rod about 1 / 2 inch diameter spot, and eightten centimeters. Should be as close as possible to the door. The only problem is that you can not use, except inside. A gate of good quality, safety is a value, the weight, with a bright color that is difficult to see inside the house. The sliding glass doors and windows, all you can do to a piece of wood cylindrical buy about 1 / 4-1 / 2 cm in diameter or a size that fits perfectly in the window or sliding door track for final cutMetal frame of the door / window and the other is perfect against the window or door that slides. When it leaves open a window or a door, just copy the short stick of wood. No. In short, do not want a skinny meth-head, making his way back to the problem with windows and patio doors, is all you have to do is break.
Now I ask you, Terry, what you have at home. Well, it's a legitimate question, because the work of history, my work with the bands, and the fact that theCriminals always let me know know where I live. A gift that I am in my yard, which consists of a head and body of a cat, which was cut after the death of the cat, and fly toward the door of my courtyard patio. I am a little 'paranoid to answer, but the question. When I bought my house, installed a security system on all external doors and windows. I have motion detectors in the house and bedroom doors. IThe problems started with a small defect in a gang member who lives on the street, so I went online and found a system with 8 security cameras, and features a DVD burner and backup. The camera system was fifty yards Infer Network. Now, I checked everything and the cost of the same system I've installed more than $ $ 3500,00-4.500,00 before him. Well, I'm not a "DIY Guy. In fact, every time you use it, is a hammer, I lose my finger and go in a short period of extreme grief. WithThat in the minds and help my son with all that we installed in a day and a half, and it works very well. I also have a little dog, a Bichon Frize is very small, but it is a very good guard dog. Its bark and wake the neighbors next door. I know what your thinking here is the point of sale. No, this is false. Call the security services in your area and request a quote, research online and request a quote. Then make an informed decision about what you want. The idea is to increase safetythe time at which a thief from entering and leaving your home or business and get the same attention as possible before, during or after.
In addition, there are about 31 years my house was searched. I have several credit cards and two pistols. The thief is the son of my neighbors, a drug addict. Fortunately, one of the weapons was about 6 months later, again, and the other has not yet been released. The fact is that this was not the credit card worries me. These weapons, if theybeen used to kill someone who has never been in my consciousness. The biggest impact on me and my family was not safe at home. E 'as intimate with someone else, just not good. In reality, it took me about two years, I felt safe in my house. So I think that the flight should be considered a criminal offense, because the psychological impact on a victim.
I hope this can be useful and waswe can all learn to help you, your family and your property.
