Day 3 of: "Things Your Burglar Won't Tell You"

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. I always check the freezer – and not for food!

12. Here's a helpful hint: I almost never go into kids' rooms.

13. 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.

14. 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 device that works on a timer and simulates the flickering glow of a real television.

Burglar Items 6-8 were published Saturday, April 2, 2011.

More to follow tomorrow ...
