[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's an urban legend that burglars "case the joint" first.  [/quote]

Not always true.  Our house was cased. Our house appeared unoccupied because we were early birds commuting together using one car so one car stayed behind. That made it appear that we were gone on vacation since they were showing up for their “casing job” later than when we were leaving for work.  They eventually showed up, tried to bust the doors down but we deterred them by making our presence know.

This was about 6 or 7pm in early winter in Rockville. According to the police they were doing this all over lower Montgomery County, not just where we were.  They had been spotted casing but moved around so much they were hard to catch.  This was a few years ago, so not an active situation. [/quote]

Interesting... they never came back? It's encouraging to know that if ppl show up and place is not empty they just forget about it and don't come back. They must have been watching your house for a while to infer it was empty most times.  I had someone show up at 6pm claiming to pick up donations.  I was home and saw them walking towards my front door, I think they saw me in the window and I spoke to them when they approached the front door, so they never had a chance to do anything or even ring a doorbell.
