Former Florida burglar reveals her secrets.
The video is very detailed. She notes how she targeted nice, $1 million dollar homes in nice Florida neighborhoods, looking for a cul-de-sac or home that backed into a street. Planning the getaway is important. Then she dropped this little bit of knowledge that I would never guessed.
“If it’s raining, drizzling, just sprinkling even a little bit. If it’s foggy, if it’s wet, if it’s nasty, that’s it. That’s the best of the best. You know why? Because in that type of weather condition, people are not only not outside, but they also aren’t going to chase you,” she stated. People aren’t going to come out of their house to check on suspicious activity, because it’s raining. And even if they see something out the window, the weather makes it hard to identify what they see.
And those signs that state that you have an alarm? She loved those. It meant you had something in your house worth protecting. It also told her exactly what to expect once she decided to break in. Here’s the full video.
A lot of stuff in here. Wearing scrubs, which is such a normal thing to see here in Florida. Shoes of two different sizes for when she left footprints. Gloves.
