Ex-Burglars Share Tips That Could Potentially Save Your House (And Life)

This person’s cousin lived in a rough neighborhood, so she purchased a jewelry box and stocked it with fake jewelry. In addition, she’d put a few 20 dollar bills within so that robbers will succumb to the trick. It’s the perfect decoy to lure interlopers. They take the box and nothing else.

Burglars will fall for the fake fancy jewelry/accessories and take the cash, even though, in reality, it essentially amounts to nothing. It’s a great foil for trespassers who just want to get in, rob you, and get out. A quick and easy grab. They think they’ve won, but really, you did.
