My neighbor got burglarized by guys dressed up as city of houston workers

Hispanic?

 

Sorry, but your neighbor needs to come out of the rock he's been hiding under. Most people know by now to ask for a badge and call it in to verify. This con has been going on for years. Plus, it's the weekend, so even more reason to be suspicious.

 

Oh, i see. Then, you should forward the info the news, if they're specifically targeting the elderly.

 

How much gold we talkin bout?

 

What neighborhood? Damn, that's creepy because i know there was a string of robberies last summer with people reporting door to door salesman as suspects. Apparently they would just camp on the street and learn people's schedules.

 

Was it physical gold? If so.. I think eddiewinslow might be a party of interest.

 

”Now sir, if there's anything that can interfere with our cable work, it's passports, checkbooks, and gold. Please tell me you do not have any of those things on the premises.”
”Well, actually, I keep all of those things in the top left dresser drawer in my bedroom. Is that bad?”
”Oh yes, sir, very bad. Thank you for telling me, you could have ruined everything we were about to do here.”
”Oh, thank goodness.”
”Now you just wait right here, sir, I need to get the proper tools to remove this very serious, very not made-up threat from my van.”
”God bless your heart.”

*several hours later*

”This sure is taking a while. They must have parked far away.”

Haha.

Old people.

 

I hear people are evacuating in Katy.

 

I don't open the door unless it's a family member or I have a scheduled appointment made through the phone or online. Otherwise, everyone else can GTFO.

 

Another reason I love having 100lb dogs. This doesn't happen to you.

 

They're called "Distraction Burglaries", someone posing as a city worker comes to the door to distract you, while their accomplice breaks into your house to steal things. Some variations to the crime, sometimes they ask to use your restroom or check your water heater.

Don't let anyone into your house. Ask for identification. Call the City to verify who they are.

 

Is it illegal to open your door holding a rifle? Unless people can report you as a threat, that would be a good way to keep thems away.

 

They also target immigrants who don't speak fluent English, or single women who don't know much about home repairs, appliances, utility lines, etc.

 

Crime, in Houston. Shocking. Big, big fan of my many security cameras surrounding my casa. It gets addicting, I watch them on my phone all day at work due to **** like this happening everywhere. I'm ready to tap one of these fools.

 

I've actually CAUGHT my neighbor stealing my package (had an Acer S3 in it) on camera. Evidently, the cops didn't do much since the camera didn't catch her actually taking it from my door. Here's the video of it:
