No.1 The two things I hate most: loud dogs and nosy neighbors. No.2 I’ll break a window to get in, even if it makes a little noise. If your neighbor hears one loud sound, he’ll stop what he’s doing and wait to hear it again. If he doesn’t hear it again, he’ll just go back to what he was doing. It’s human nature. No.3 I love looking in your windows. I’m looking for signs that you’re home. I’ll drive or walk through your neighborhood at night, before you close the blinds, just to pick my targets. No.4 Avoid announcing your vacation on your Facebook page. It’s easier than you think to look up your address. No.5 To you, leaving that window open just a crack during the day is a way to let in a little fresh air. To me, it’s an invitation. No.6 If you don’t answer when I knock, I try the door. Occasionally, I hit the jackpot and walk right in. No.7 Of course I look familiar. I was here just last week cleaning your carpets, painting your shutters, or delivering your new refrigerator. No.8 Hey, thanks for letting me use the bathroom when I was working in your yard last week. While I was in there, I unlatched the back window to make my return a little easier. *
