The part where the thief breaks his ankle is precious.

Living next door to the Sheriff, I can tell you how most homes in **nice** areas are broken into:

Most home invasions are between 10am and 3pm (not in the middle of the night like in the movies).

The perp knocks at the door

a. If you answer, he tells you that your dog got out of the yard and is running up the street. If you tell him you don't have a dog, or that your dog is inside - he graciously thanks you and says he must have been mistaken.

b. If no one answers and no dogs bark, he will knock at the side door and then throw a rock, paver or whatever through the back window - then walk away.

He will make one casual walk around the block and then check your house again. If no neighbors are standing around with their hands on their hips, and no alarms are buzzing, he will then enter the house.

He will look if there are any alarm keypads near the doors, if there are, he will assume that he will be tripping the motion sensors and will have less than 2 minutes of working time as the alarm blasts.

He will grab the meds, the cash from the bedroom drawers, gun from the nightstand, jewelry.

That's it, the average robbery is done in 60 seconds.

The Sheriff says that there has only been 2 ever robberies where thieves ripped off houses with a van marked with the local funeral home.

None of the neighbors batted an eye when the van backed up and took all their stuff.

Do not post obituaries online or in the paper - high end thieves look for that kind of opportunity

Politicians love to shout about **rampant crime in the streets** and then people start to believe it, no matter how low the actual crime rates drop.

Same with immigration. Even if more immigrants are leaving a country than coming in, politicians will always shout about immigrants **overflowing the boarders**.

If it bleeds, it leads.....

No politician is going to say "Crime is at a 40 year low! Let's spend your money on helping the rich!"
