A - My Little Brother And His Friend marty
Alright so my little brother Jacob and his friend Marty were 14 years old. When they should have been in school they were breaking into houses. They broke into a girls house that they knew. They used a card to unlock the window. They snuck into her mothers room and stole an oz of weed and various other items.
STONED AS SHIT.... They then went up the street and went to my friend HoodFalls house and since his FRONT window was broken they went in thru there. They got into the house and sat down and ate icecream. Then they noticed through the sliding glass back door that there was infact a police officer. They ran into the back room and hoped out a window.
They then proceded to run down the STREET. The police officer was presuing them the entire way. As they were running down the STREET another officer in a police car cut them off and they were both apprehended.
A cross the street neighboor saw them entering the window.
Being a minor my brother did 2month in some juvi prison thing. Marty went to some outdoor camp thing where he lives in the woods and cuts down trees and builds cabins all day. (seems like fun to me)
Morals -
1 - Don't break into multiple houses a day
2 - Sober minds while commiting crime
3 - Don't break into a house through the FRONT
4 - Don't stop for icecream while commiting a Class A felony
5 - Escape through a window
6 - Don't run on the street from a cop. He'll call for back up and they'll get there fast. Hop fences the advantages are countless; Cop wont know where to call back up to, you should be able to minuver through obsticles better then an officer wearing all his gear
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
B - Me getting snitched out
Back in the Fall/Winter of 2007 I had a crew together. We were 6 strong but there would never be more then 4 per house. It was more like we all did burglaries and we would team up with various members of the crew for various jobs.
One day about 10am we decided we were going to hit up some more houses. My friend HoodFall (same dude whose house my brother broke into). My best friend for 8 years Jeff hell he and I used to play guns together. His friend Luis who HoodFall and I didn't know all to well. Luis had a truck so this was going to be perfect.
Anyways so we go and we scope out some houses. (I'm the smartest and most experienced so I'm choosing the house) anyways we're driving around a upper middle class neighboorhood I noticed that there were woods in the back of all these houses on one street so I said "THIS IS IT". (I LOVE WOODS). I memorize real quickly which houses have cars. The first three don't.
Picture below
Luis parks his truck accross the street at some buisness (YELLOW SQUARE). We cross the street and enter the woods. Everyone but me stay back. As to not be seen. I sneak closer to the houses and I look for the perfect house. I spot a perfect one (BLUE CIRCLE). There's a privacy fence to the left so the neighboors wont be able to see. The other side has no neighboor its just some woods. So no one can see.
I then call HoodFall and tell everyone to move in. We all wait in the woods as hood fall goes to the house. He tries a Card technique on the back door but it doesn't work. Then he looks at a back window and simply opens it (it was unlocked). He signals me to come in. I help lift him into the window. He kicks over a cristmas tree and opens the back door for me. I signal Jeff and luis to come in.
We enter the house and we all split. I go into a bedroom and its a kids room theres a camera and thats about it. Hoodfall comes into the room and says "Got a laptop from the office" I say there aint shit in here. I help him search the office some more and find another laptop. We go into the masterbedroom and get some jewelry from a jewelry box. We pulled out and dumped all the dresser draws and find a couple hundred dollars cash.
By this time we've been in the house for 3 minutes. Luis calls out how longe we've been in. I tell everyone to do one last run through of the house. We do and we leave. Me carring a pillow case with a couple laptops and another one filled with a sterio. Hoodfall carring his loot along with Jeffs loot because Jeff is helping Luis carry a plasma screen T.V. out.
We all wait in the woods as Luis brings his truck up the dirt road (BLACK LINES) and picks us up. We then leave and head to jeffs house to sort out the score.
We were somewhat disapointed with the score. A couple hours later we decded to go ride by the house and see if someone had discovered it yet. There was still no one home and no cops in site. It was still very earily (1pm) we had about 2 hours before school let out and 4 hours before adults came home from work. In the burglary World 2 hours is forever. The longest a BnE should take is 10minutes after entering the house and thats pushing it. It really doesn't take long at all to ransack a house.
So we decide we're going to look for one more house on that street and call it quits. So Luis Parks his truck in the same spot (YELLOW SQUARE) and we head off into the woods. We then see a GreenHouse in the middle of the woods. We run over to it to see if there weed in it.....There isn't. We then see a BIG house surronded by woods. We instantly pick it as a mark. (RED CIRCLE)
One person goes to see if anyone is home. No one is. We're then completly safe in the middle of the woods with nothing but a house. You have no idea how free we were. We go into the back to see if there's a way in. There is a screened in patio and a couple of Glass French doors exactly like these
[img]http://cassarconstruction.com/mpc/docs/images/fiberglass%20french%20doors.jpg
[/img]
We get a golf club that was nearby we wrap a pool towel around it and we Smash that fucking Door. We smash it some more then we smash it some more. We unlock the door. And we enter. The french doors lead to a HUGE living room with a T.V. Soo big we couldn't steal (4men and a truck couldn't steal this). The living room had a spiral stair case that lead to a library/office with COUNTLESS LAPTOPS. I'm not fucking with you we had stacks of laptops. In another room was nothing but guitars they lined the walls. There were banjos too. We all stole 2 guitars each and there were countless that we had to leave behind. I discovered the Master Bedroom first and instantly went for the jewelry. Put it in a pillow case ransacked the dresser and found no cash. The master bedroom is bigger then any 3bedroom house I've been in.
Another room was loaded with christmas presents. We stole a samori(spelling) sword. We all began loading all the stuff out to the yard as Luis went to get his truck. We loaded everything aboard and we went back to the T.V. (Bitch was wider then I am tall) Hoodfall being the strong black man of the group grabed the bat. We figured if we couldn't steal it we were going to break it. He swung as hard as he could at the T.V.......And it deflected the blow....HoodFall screamed in pain from the recoil. The T.V. wasn't even scratched.
Anyways Luis and Jeff drop HoodFall and I at my house. They go to take there cut to their houses. HoodFall and I are talking and I'm telling him "DUDE we need to lay the fuck low we stole over a Hundred Thousand today." I showed him the jewelry I had. It was all real I knew it. It looked real and the people who had that house weren't people I would think would keep fake shit. Hoodfall and I talked it over and he agreed that he would lay the fuck low.
So that night I have god knows how much stolen shit just posted up at my house so I call up my old friend Thorn and I tell him I needed a place to stash some shit. He asked me how much I would pay him I told him "3" he said "three what....dollars fuck that" I said "no three laptops what brands are your favorite"
Couple minutes later he shows up with his SUV and I unload most loot into it (cept the jewelry. Didn't tell him I had it and a coupld things I'd planned to fence off REAL quick). He goes about his way. I go to my house and I wipe my prints off every bit of jewelry I had. I stuffed it into several ziplock bags. I then duck tape and scotch tape over the ziplock bags. Then I put it into trash bags and repeat the process. I then Put it into a Black "Wagner Paint Gun" case I taped it again and again. Then I put it into a couple trash bags. Satisfied it was waterproof I went to the middle of the woods to bury it. I got to the woods started to dig but nope there were too many fucking roots and it was december so it was cold. I ended up climbing a tree and tying it to it. I then got several sticks and made an arrow pointing to the general direction to where it was. Then in the entrance of the woods where I had entered I tied part of a camoflauge shirt to a branch.
Anyways I wake up to discover that HoodFall and CoCo (another person in are crew) broke into a house just down the street of where HoodFalls lives. I bitched out hoodfall and told him how stupid it was told him to lay low. Anyways Hoodfall ended up stealing a car and getting caught. The cops assumed he was the one to break into his neighborshouse.
They then figured out who HoodFall hung out with. Turned out HoodFall sold a 360 he had stolen to a kid in the neighboorhood who then snitched HoodFall out for it. He then told the Detectives who HoodFall hung out with Including me and my Best friend of EIGHT YEARS EIGHT GOD DAMN YEARS Jeff. Well anyways. Cops come to my house. They ask me if I knew anything I said I didnt' . They then begin to search my house but their scared of my dog a Rhodesian Ridgeback (Used in Africa To Hunt Lions). I tell them I'll put here up. I go inside to put her up and I run to my room I grab some of the stolen stuff that was still in my house and I throw it in my pool.
As they're searching my house the dude who HoodFall had sold the stuff to was in the back of the Detective car and he yeld to me "HOODFALL SNITCHED US OUT"
When they search my house they find a stack of laptops in my closet. (I really had no idea they were there. otherwise I would have thrown them in my pool). So they arrest me for "receiving stolen property" they then take me to the police station to be interegated. As I'm walking into the theft Department I see Hoodfall in the interigation room (its a glass room). Anyways the cops start questioning me at her desk. I'm just bullshiting saying I didn't break into any houses that I had just been holding on to the stuff. They asked for who and I just said nothing. Anyways its been about 7hours now and I hadn't eaten since yesterday.
The bitch cop left for a while then comes back and says with a smirk on her face "WE got your fingerprints at Miles Neighboorshouse. Its a match"
"BITCH YOU HAVEN'T EVEN FINGER PRINTED ME YET YOU STUPID FUCKING BITCH"
Long story short I get charged with One count of burglary (for one several months back) and one count of "theft by receiving stolen property" (for having the laptops)
Anyways I'm in jail between December 20th 2007 and January 16th 2008
The thing is the cops kept trying to convince me that Hoodfall had snitched me out. And I truthfully beleived them but one thing didn't make since. They never once asked me where the jewelry was. And I wasn't even charged with the Mansion or the other house before that.
Anyways so I'm out and free and I meet up with my BEST FRIEND FOR EIGHT YEARS jeff. He and I are hanging out and apparently he got charged with a bunch of random houses. Some of them he didn't even do. Apparently for some reason Hoodfall was saying Jeff helped him out on all the houses. (Hoodfall was charged with like 7burglaries and various other bullshit)
Anyways so me and my best buddy jeff are hanging out chilling. Apparently Luis had been caught too. This made no sence to me because HoodFall didn't even know Luis last name. Anyways. Jeff is a minor so his court comes up WAY sooner then mine. Its in Febuary. He calls me up after court all happy. All his charges are droped. I'm soo happy for him. He and I go out partying.
I come home from partying to find out a got a warrent out for my arrest. I turn myself in. Jeff snitched me out. He was the snitch. The reason Hoodfall was saying Jeff did all the shit with him was because he'd figured it out and wanted jeff to fucking rot.
I get bonded out one week later. (Febuary 15th) I get myself the best lawyer in the city.
A couple weeks later Thorn got busted with all my stolen goods. I had told him to ditch all the shit in a lake or the river or somewhere. He had told me he had done so. He decided to keep it instead that way he could make money off of it and he really wouldn't be stealing from me because I had wanted it destroyed.
Then in July I go to court(cold plea where you see what the judge will give you in return for a guilty plea if you don't like it you go to trial) with Luis (everyone else was minor he and I were the only adults of the group) hell Luis real first name isn't even luis its completly different. Anyways we're infront of the judge and apparently Luis got himself a badass lawyer too. The Detective is telling the judge all the bad stuff we did. Luis Lawyer tells the judge that Luis was only the getaway driver. The judge asks me if this was true I said it was. Then judge asks if all the stolen goods was recovered. The detective says "no we have been unable to recover over twenty thousand dollars worth of jewelry" my lawyer says " My client no matter the outcome of this hearing will like to help the XXXX police department recover the stolen jewelry"
Luis and I were both give 10years probation along with 200 weekends in jail (got to jail at 6pm friday get out 3pm sunday)
The next day detective Fatass comes to pick me up. He and I go to get the jewelry and he gets it all happy as shit. While where in the car he says to me " you know Jeff didn't snitch you out. He was the only one who didn't talk. It was HoodFall who ratted you out" I said "Really Jeff was the only one who knew Luis's real name" he said "well..." then he shut the fuck up.
Out come
Me - 20 Weekends in jail and 2 years probation (reduced after I returned the jewelry)
Jeff - Scot free
Hoodfall - 3months in a juvi/prison
Luis - 200 Weekends in jail and 10 years probation (He'll be doing weekend in jail for another 3 years)
Thorn - Had to return all the stuff. Hes had a solid job for 7years and the cops knew he hadn't done really anything. (He blamed everything on Hoodfall and Jeff)

C - HoodFall getting caught via Bonds
This story involves are favorite character HoodFall and his friends Sam, Billy, And Joey. So its November of 2008 and the gang decide there going to break into a house. Joey drives HoodFall Sam and Billy to a giagantic field in the middle of nowhere surrounded by woods. Hoodfall, Sam and Billy get out. They enter the woods and get to some houses that are surrounded by woods. They call up Joey who drives by the house to see if anyone is home. No one is. The gang smash a window open with a "ninja Rock" Hoodfall goes in. Tries to open the back door but its a dead bolt that needs a key to unlock from inside too. He opens up a window and the gang enter the house.
Billy runs up to the secound story goes into the Masterbed room where he grabs the Jewelry box and sticks it in a duffle bag he brought. As he's doing this Sam walks up and says "are these valuable" billy looks at them and its a GIGANTIC STACK of $100 BONDS thousands of dollars worth of bonds. "HELL IF I KNOW BUT WE SURE AS HELL CAN TRY" Hoodfall comes and looks at the bonds. Its paper so he
takes off his gloves and flips through the bonds. He then sticks them in his hoody pocket. They leave the house with several bags worth of goods. A expensive computer a roomba (expensive vacum) some jewelry and the bonds.
They go to another house through the woods. They know the house has an alarm but they've tested the police response time by smashing the windows of houses with alarms and seeing how long the cops take to show up.....its 20-40minutes in there city.
They smash the back door window up with another ninja rock they run inside the house grab what ever they want and run out. They hop a fence and go off into the woods. They get to the truck put all the stuf into the trucks tool box. Lock it up. (Cops need an extra warrant to search anything thats locked) go about there way. They get to billys house and start spliting the loot when they notice that the Bonds are missing. They search high and low and the only thing they can think of is that they flew out of the truck.
Two days later Hoodfall is arrested. The bonds fell out of his pocket as he was hoping the fence. Since he took his gloves off to flip through the bonds they found ONE fingerprint on ONE bond. He's currently serving a one year prison term in a state prison. He's due to be released in March of 2010.
Hoodfall was the only one caught with the crime. He didn't mention a single name.
Morals
1 - DON'T TAKE OFF YOUR FUCKING GLOVES
2 - YOU HAVE BAGS FOR A FUCKING REASON

D - I'm not going to listen to what DJAQAVERLERRON told me cause I'm a dumbass
Okay earlier this summer (Mayish) Billy and this dude Kyle broke into a house and got a bunch of stuff. I pretty big score. One of the best the very experienced Billy had ever done. Well Kyle lives with me. (This was Kyles first house and the large amount of cash he got from just a couple minutes work was very tempting)
Anyways after the big score it was expressed to Kyle that he shouldn't break into anymore houses that he should LAY LOW. Atleast until they fenced off all the goods that they had "in stock" alread. Well a couple weeks after the big score Kyle dicided that since Billy didn't want to break into any houses he was going to do it on his own. As he's scopeing out houses my other roommate "Diego" drives up. Diego was driving around looking for gas cans to steal. (for his car). When Kyle told Diego what he was doing diego said he'd like to help. Since diego had a car it seemed all fine and dandy.
They go into a RESIDENTIAL neighboorhood and go into the back yard where theres ZERO COVERAGE anyone with an adjacent back yard can see them. No privacy fences no woods just open back yards with a couple gates. They smash in a window and as there inside the cops surround them. Diego hides in the house. Kyle runs out the window. A cop yells "stop or I'll shoot" Kyle hops a fence and hides inside a trashcan. He hides there for a 3 hours then he hides inside a storage shed for another 5 hours.
Mean while I'm waking up at my house. And I get a bang on my door. I open up the door see I white girl and think (that looks like the bitch who arrested me) I look at the black guy standing next to her and I'm thinking why the hell is there a black guy at my house. I don't know any old black guys. I look at his shirt and theres a police badge logo on it and I'm thinking "why would anyone buy a shirt with a police logo on it" I look at the girl and shes wearing a strap on bullit proof vest that says POLICE in bold white letters.
"Sir can you step out side and talk to us" I said "Can you give me one secound". I closed my door locked it grabed my shoes Went to the other side of my house jumped out a window and hoped every God damn fence until I got to the middle of some fucking woods. I stayed there for 36hours. (IT WAS COLD AS SHIT THAT NIGHT TOOO and I had on A light Shirt, Gym Shorts, Shoes. Thats it thats all I had to my name)
Anyways back to Kyles story. He decides that 8 hours of hiding is enough he was going to head back home to see what happened. He was arrested on the spot. Diego Snitched him out.
I ended up going to a friends house and I aint going to lie I was happy as hell when I found out the cops weren't after me. I've had been on the run in my mind for 36 hours and its fucking draining. I had run through thorns and creeks and all sorts of shit with GYM SHORTS on.
Anyways Diego hid under a bed. The cops found him. He snitched out kyle.
Kyle is in jail awaiting trial for
Burglary - Breaking into the house
Obstruction of a police officer - Running from the cops
Obstruction of a police officer - The only way the cops could search my house was if they said that it was Kyle who answered the door and ran off not me.
Diego - Is out on bond for burglary. He probably isnt going to do anytime cause he snitched out K
Moral of the story
1 - LAY LOW AFTER A BIG SCORE
2 - PEOPLE SNITCH
3 - Use cover when breaking into a house
4 - When on the run don't go home
5 - Laying low for 24 hours is better then 24 months in jail.
6 - Don't park a car infront of the house you're about to rob
7 - Don't hide in the house. There going to look to make sure its safe before they let people in it.
Diego got 3 years in prison.
Kyle got 2 years in prison.
================================================== =============
Alarms -
Basics
Basics
An alarm will go off do to several ways the most common is if a door is opened or a window is broken. Another cheaper way is due to a motion detector. If a door is kicked in or a window is broken it will instantly trigger the alarm. If its a motion detector alarm or you didn't kick in the door/window you'll have a couple secounds head start before the alarm sounds (amount of time they give you to push in the code) if this is the case I would recomend finding and smashing the "keyPad" I have absoulutly no clue if this would work. I've never been put in a situation where I was afforded the opurtunity to try it out. But hell it can't hurt.
If the alarm is triggered it'll start BLARING NOISE. Some times it'll just be the basic siren. On one occasion for me it was a voice thing notifing the entire neighboorhood that there was an "INTRUDER". Some times the alarms sirens are placed outside to allow for it to be heard more clearly by the neighboors. If this is the case you can hear it from 300yards away easy. I don't know where they place it in the outside I assume they switch up the places.
Once the alarm goes off the alarm will notify the "call center" via the phone line. Once the "call Center" gets reports of the alarm going off they'll then call up the house phone to see if it was a false alarm. If no one answers are the person who answers doesn't answer there questions correctly the police are notified.
How to prevent the Call Center from finding out
This wont prevent the siren from going off but It'll prevent the "call center" from knowing the alarm has gone off.
Again THIS WONT PREVENT THE SIREN FROM GOING OFF but it WILL PREVENT THE 'CALL CENTER" from knowing the alarm has gone off.
Cut the phone line. Simple as that. When the alarm goes off it interrupts any calls in progress and tells the calls center via phone line that the alarm has gone off. If the phone line is cut the call center will never know shit has gone down. Thus THEY wont call the cops.
To find the phone line go to the side of your house and look for a small box that'll say something along the lines of "Telephone Network Interface" (atleast thats what mine says). You just have to cut the wires going up into it.
This doesn't prevent neighboors who hear the siren going off from calling the cops. But its my beleif that they wouldn't call the cops because they would assume the alarm company already has.
Spoting a house with an alarm
A house with alarms is going to have stickers and signs. If it doesn't have a sticker or a sign its VERY safe to assume it doesn't have an alarm. I've never broken into a house that had an alarm without knowing before hand (due to a sign/sticker) that it had an alarm. Companies make it very easy to spot out who has one and who doesn't
Testing police response time -
Something thats going to come in handy is to know how long it'll take police officers in your city to respond to a home alarm. To do this you simply have to set off an alarm.
Find a house with an alarm. Smash a window with a rock,Ninja Rock, BBgun, Bat, etc.
Then simply wait and see how long it takes for a patrol car to show up. You'r going to want to try this out a couple of times just to get a better idea of the time it takes. In my city its about half an hour.
The reason cops take so long to respond to a home alarm is simple. Most home alarms are false alarms so they aren't really a priority.
On the other hand most Buisness alarms are almost never false alarms. So they respond fairly quickly.
