What Do You Think Sleuths???
22 Answers
I live in a small quiet cul-de-sac of, 4 houses, & 3 bungalows, with no front gardens, only small plots under the windows.
When my daughter visited yesterday afternoon, there was a house brick, close to the right side of my front door.
There are no building sites near, hardly any kids, so was wondering if this could have been placed there, as a sign for thieves, like some do marking walls with chalk.?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.trt - looks like someone could be watching your house, that's one of the things they (thieves) do, something like if a lady lives alone with cat, a chalk cat or the like is scratched on wall with bit of chalk, looks childish but them in the know -know, during the summer just gone a local gardener seen similar near a house close to me in the same kind of setting like you and he informed us to protect our homes that someone is watching - we've cctv all around anyway but it was good to know. Maybe it was just simply left there but I don't think it's coincidence
>>> that's one of the things they (thieves) do
Rubbish! I'd be prepared to bet that, if you spoke to every CID officer in the country, not a single one of them would ever have come across a situation whereby thieves had marked out a property in such a way. It's an urban myth and it simply doesn't happen.
The vast majority of domestic burglaries are carried out by opportunist thieves operating alone. Even when two or more offenders work together, they don't go around marking properties in advance. If they wanted to remember a particular address, they could simply take a photograph on their mobile phone. If they wanted to tell someone else about it, they could send them a text. However nearly all burglaries have no planning whatsoever. The burglars simply look for easy targets and break in there and then.

As Chris says, the burglar/traveller/tramp codes are a load of hooey
