Description

🔗 Everything I check on a house, room by room, written down: https://roycallahanbooks.com/ 12 Questions a "Utility Worker" Asks Before They Rob You (Never Answer Them) A yellow safety vest, a hard hat, and a clipboard cost under fifty dollars. Put them on a stranger and he becomes the most trusted person who will ever knock on your door. In this video, Roy Callahan, a veteran of small-town law enforcement, counts down 12 friendly questions a fake utility worker asks before a burglary. Every one sounds like routine paperwork, and every answer tells a thief who lives in your house, when you are gone, and where the valuables sit. Questions covered in the countdown: Can you confirm your name and address? Are you the one who pays the bill? Have you noticed a gas smell or flickering lights? Is anyone else home who can sign for this? Do you have a dog? Do you work from home or are you out during the day? Where is your electrical panel? Do you have an alarm system? Can you turn off your cameras and Wi-Fi? Can you unlock the back gate? Can I take a look at your latest bill? Can I come in for just a minute? You will also learn the ten-second trick that makes most fake workers walk away, the one phone call that settles any doubt in about four minutes, and the exact words to use at the door so you stay polite and give away nothing. If someone you know would open the door for a clipboard, send them this video.
