Dumb Intruder Calls Cops On Homeowner
If I ever strived to be a dumb criminal I’d want to be Timothy James Chapek, 24 years old from Portland, Ore. This cat breaks into a home and jumps in the shower when the woman who lived there came home.
The kid locked the bathroom door and called 911. From the 911 call: “I just broke into a house and the owners came home…I think they have guns,” he told the 911 operator.
At the same time the homeowner confronted him and asked why he was in the house taking a shower and he says “I broke in. I was kidnapped.”
When the homeowner yelled at him telling him she was calling the cops he said “I’ve already called them. They’re on the phone right now.”
OMG!
How about not letting this happen in the first place?
Install signage. “Beware of Dog” and “This House is Alarmed” neon signs for $1.98. One for the front door and one for the back door.
Go to the pet store. Get 2 big dog bowls, one for the front porch and one for the back. Write “Killer” in permanent marker on it. This gives the impression you have a big dog. You can even buy a barking dog alarm.
Lock your doors and windows. Install a monitored alarm system. Consider ADT Pulse that comes with a battery backup even when the poser goes out.
Give your home that lived in look. Leave the TV on LOUD while you are gone.
Install timers on your lights both indoor and outdoor. Close the shades to prevent peeping inside.
