Crime in Scottsdale
Yet another true story….
A new customer called ASAP Lock & Security after a break-in on his Scottsdale home. He had just finished having some contractors in his house doing some home improvements by moving a wall in his kitchen and so forth.
In Scottsdale, it’s quite common to see some very unusual and custom front doors. A lot of the French door variety-which this customer had. Though these custom doors can be very attractive, sometimes they are not very secure and neither are the locks. Someone, other than my new customer, knew that as well.
You see the deadbolt on the front door did not engage fully into it’s “strike.” When the lock isn’t working like it was designed, it is a major weak point for your home. Imagine, your door and lock as a weak point!
So, back to the story, while my customer had the men finish up on a Thursday afternoon because he went on Friday vacation for a long weekend, he came home to find his front door manipulated. This was done with a simple screw driver.
For a thief to step up to a front door deadbolt and retract the bolt, he had to have know it wasn’t engaging fully, either by inside information gathered (hmmmm? One of the sub-contractors perhaps?) or by sheer experience from the type of door and the area from a local thug. What do you think?
Not a whole lot was taken from his house. There was a lot of “fishing” if you will, around the inside of the home, for jewelry and money. A jar of change was taken along with a camera and a small tv. What an invasion of privacy.
