Useful Items

Look around for any useful items. They will save you some time on lockpicking or hacking. Maybe there is a key near a window? Being smart can make a life of an aspiring thief so much easier and reduce your burglary time even by a half.

Be Careful

Be careful! In some houses, you can meet unexpected guests. If they catch you in the act, they will call the police. In this case, hide and wait till they stop looking for you or you can always leave the loot and run away as fast as possible.

Prepare Loot

Turn off the GPS trackers, disconnect all the devices from the internet and erase serial numbers. Disassemble a stolen car and sell parts on the internet. Prepare phones and tablets before selling in a pawn shop by removing their security.

Be Quick

The faster, the better. Find and steal as many valuables as possible in the shortest time possible. Remember that infinite backpacks don’t exist. When it’s about time you have to maintain cold blood. In every house, you’ll find tons of useless stuff, which can really slow you down.
