As we rely on technology for the security of our houses, criminals using basic things and techniques to bypass the technology. It is a normal thing for criminals to think outside the box, but this is something new.
Burglars are now using a simple object to gain entrance to your property. A woman from Texas, Kim Fleming Cernigliaro shared a story from her social media account. Here is the story:
“Two weeks ago,” Kim started, “during the day, a hard knock was at my front door, not a regular knock but almost pounding, (I honestly thought something may have happened to someone and they needed help) but something didn’t feel right…and I DO NOT answer the door when I am here by myself. So don’t bother!”
“After several Knocks, they finally left. I glanced and could see it was a man through the stained glass of my door. After about 30 minutes I walked outside to look for what I thought would be a brochure, but instead found a rubber band around my knob to hold the door to open when I unlocked the latch. I called Ron and he told me to get the gun out and leave it out.”
Kim was so close to being a victim. As she contacted with the authorities, her story went viral.
“As soon as you unlatch the door, they do not wait for you to turn the knob, they can bust in on you. Anyway just be careful, I USE to be such a trusting person, but not at all anymore!” Kim concluded.
Here’s a video about the situation.
