Not saying itll happen to everyone, but Im always cautious when people I dont know are over to work on something. Opportunity knocks.

Good justification for home security cameras.

I have heard of it, and I'm sure it happens, but I've been fortunate to have never experienced it.

No, but I work for AT&T. We've received multiple reports in the past week of an installation technician shooting up and falling asleep in his van during customer appointments.

Normally, people watch them the whole time they are there. But I'm sure it happens. Someone might leave for a minute to take a call or go to the bathroom. Or even to get the guy a bottle of water or something.

I do have a friend who did like the cleaning service(he was a guy though, so not the maid one, I guess). Apparently, he would steal things. Less than other people, but still. He got like a box set of some DVD or something. It was pretty bad... if he actually did it...

Either way, watch out for the cleaning service people...

Not like you would be able to steal anything worth stealing anyway.

Can't grab a bulky item like a TV or a computer fast enough.

Damn that sells for like 10-15 bucks at a pawn shop talk about a major robbery. A cable guy grabbing an expensive piece of jewelry left out, sure that is possible, I really doubt a cable guy is going to risk his job to steal something worth that little.

Tell that to the guy that stole a $2,000 Sony Viao desktop from a display from the Montgomery Wards I worked at.

Someone, in their infinite wisdom, decided that the boxes for the display computer should be placed out with the computer, under neath, but just cellophane taped to the endcap. He just box cutter the tape, grabbed a box, and out the door he went.


That isn't a home.

My mentor's son got robbed. He hired some plumber or electrician to fix something. Said plumber or electrician arrived with some apprentice. At some point my mentor's son couldn't find his iPhone. They did the Find My iPhone app and it lead them to the apprentice's backpack in plumber's truck.

They used a weapon to steal the phone?

Wouldn't that be specifically stated as "armed robbery" then and not just "robbery"?

It was a dumb joke. The correct term would have been theft.

You could probably pocket a switch. And depending on if they had some kind of bags with them, maybe a system. If they have a lot of stuff around where the tv is, it could be easy to miss a missing system.

This, too. Sometimes, you can't watch both. Especially if one is fixing something in one place but sends the other to get something from the truck or something...
