kirk16+FollowIf you find this tape on your door, call 911.We came home from a weekend trip and found a small piece of blue painter's tape on our front door lock / bottom of the garage door. I thought it was a prank. My neighbor told me it’s a tactic thieves use to "case" houses. They stick it there to see if anyone opens the door. If the tape is still intact after 24-48 hours, they know the house is empty and safe to break into. Check your doors every day, even if you use the garage! #HomeSecurity #BurglaryAwareness #Casing #NeighborhoodWatch #TravelSafety9216Share
