I don’t think it’s insane, unfortunately. My friends were robbed last summer by their handyman (who knew they were out of town).

I think it’s suspicious. Most tradesman barely show up when you BEG them to.

You’re naive. OP, I think there’s a very good chance you’re right about this

And I think there’s a very good chance you’re as bat-sh!t crazy as OP

A decent handyman is going to make wayyyyyy more money working on and fixing the stuff you’re incapable of doing yourself than he ever would fencing used appliances, 12k jewelry or whatever cheap knickknacks you think he’d steal from your house.

Calm the F down.

Then apologize to your handyman.

Apologize for what? Answering the door?

I make sure there is always someone at home when we have tradespeople here. No one ever comes without an appointment. This is suspicious behavior and I would not hire this person again.

I had an electrician show up a couple weeks after he did some wiring during our kitchen renovation. He somehow messed up job locations - and sincerely was surprised when I told him we had not scheduled and, by the way, you were here a few weeks ago as a sub-contractor. Would not be surprised if a handyman goes to 3-5 houses some days.

If OP were black, Asian, or Hispanic would they also be "paranoid"?

Why not? It happens all the time. Add to that copper pipes and wiring, flooring, fixtures, tools, etc. They steal from trucks parked right in front of the house in broad daylight. You sounds terribly naive.

OP what he did was weird. You're not paranoid, nor the one to blame for his odd behavior. He should know better, and do better.

Trust your gut. OP I think your suspicions are right on target. Get your cameras up and running and don't hire this person again. How did you find him?

[Anonymous]

I would be suspicious too. We have a friend with a vacant house being renovated. It was broken into (copper pipes stollen). Get some cameras asap. I wouldn’t trust the handyman either, why wouldn’t he just call?

NP. You don't know what you are talking about at all.

So Calm the F down.

And apologize to OP. Who definitely has her handyman looking to rob her empty house of the new appliances recently delivered there.

Are you dense? Can you read? This is her HANDYMAN. He’s already been doing work inside her home. This isn’t some vagrant from outside stealing stuff. He’s a contractor. He works FOR her.
