expert perps

The average time a burglar is in a home is three to eight minutes. And in that very short time, they can have most of the homeowner's worldly possessions. How? They know where to look. They look in dresser drawers, on top of the dresser and under the mattress. They look in the corners of the room for upturned carpets or to see if the carpet has been pulled away. They look in the closet, in clothing pockets. They look in shoes and shoe boxes. They look in the bathroom, either in the tank of the toilet or behind the toilet. They look in the refrigerator and freezer. If there's a home office, they look in the desk drawers. And if you there's a fireproof locking safe that's not secured to the floor, they will take it. In other words, thieves know all the clever hiding places you think you can safely stash your valuables. So don't allow yourself to develop a false sense of security.
