House was just robbed. Keep an eye out.

Sadly, it was likely someone you know. Now smoke a bowl and think about that.

this

or someone that commonly works on things inside your house.

Id do a quick backround check on all of the people that have done service work on or in your house within the last 6 months or so.

I never have, was raised right....I also make enough that I dont need to steal.

But...I do know of hundreds of stories of technicians stealing things from houses.

Most get fired for it, right away.

a somewhat mild one.

A set of brothers that worked out of the same office I did (in ohio, when I was a travel tech for DTV) were working at a house till about 8:30 or so....maybe a little later....

The wife was making pork chops for the fam and the hubby worked 2nd shift and got home somewhere around 10-10:30 but the fam ate around 630 or so iirc.

The wife had put two pork chops and a full plate in the oven to keep it warm till her husband came home. ( that dude probably ate some dry ass food every night)


Before the fam ate, the brothers asked if they had made them any and the lady was very rude to them and basically berated them telling them they should eat before they go to customers houses and whatnot...when all they were doing was joking with her.

So, they get done with the install ...get the signatures...and as they are walking past the kitchen on their way out they open it up and each of them took a pork chop off the plate and left with it.

haha

I thought that was funny as hell, even though it wasn't expensive I could just imagine the look on the ladies face when she found out...

They came in the next day and when asked about it admitted to it and laughed about it.

I know they got fired that day for it and ended up being charged something like 500 bucks as a chargeback off their final check for the instance.

They are basically infamous in the DTV tech society for that. I wouldnever do something like that, but I LOLd that they would it.

...

Apart from that, I know of guys that took rolexes from houses and other stuff, but they almost always get caught and 99% of the time if a customer calls and says a tech stole something, they are fired at the end of the day.

...

Rule of thumb on technicians coming to your house to do an install...

if they drive a POS brokedick truck or van and look like they are on drugs, dont leave their site and make damn sure you dont leave keys laying around.

We are thinking it is someone who did work on our house recently. Someone that the house owner kind of knows.
