Copley News Service
A SSOO a week job — only
two hours a night — no train-
ing necessary. Not bad.
Steve, 30, made $2,000 in one
month at it. His occupation —
burglar.
"I think it’s a pity I had to
direct my energies that way,”
said the man, tall, dark
haired, clean shaven. A man
who could have been anyone.
“I was desperate,” was
Steve’s excuse. After six
years in prison he was freed
last year but without a dime,
without a job. He burglarized
several businesses and a resi
dence.
“They were all within five
blocks of where I lived, be
cause I didn’t have a car,”
Steve said.
He said he was a burglar out
of financial need.
He tried a job washing
dishes and another as a sales
man but tired of both and
looked for employment else
where.
“I desperately wanted a job
but a meaningful job,” he
said. “Washing dishes was
out, especially when I felt I
could do something better.”
He chose burglary instead.
“There was a romantic qual
ity, low risk and lots of
money.
“I like the good life. The
good life of being able to fly to
‘Frisco and have a party, eat
at good places, take out beau
tiful women.”
Steve speaks on behalf of
himself and other amateur
burglars he has known. He
tells how they differ from pro
fessionals, how they operate
and what the homeowner can
do to make their job a little
harder.
The amateur follows the
“hit or miss” technique. He
will cruise a neighborhood
and look for a house where no
one is at home. He will check
the garage to make sure. If
the garage door is up, the peo
ple will probably be gone only
a short time.
Point of entry is frequently
a side door which usually
lacks elaborate locks. “Rare
ly does an amateur enter the
front door,” he said.
“The amateur will ransack
a house looking for money.
The first place he goes is the
master bedroom.
“Women usually leave jew
els and other valuables in a
lingerie or handkerchief
drawer. Men put them with
their socks. I check old purses
on closet shelves, linings of
old hats, behind the dresser
and remove drawers to see if
anything is taped to the bot
tom.” The mattress, of
course, is suspect.
In the kitchen, the old
“sugar bowl theory” prevails.
If money isn’t found — S&H
green stamps, silver and
other articles are taken.
Another popular hiding place
is in a library behind shelved
books or stuffed inside.
“A person in need will take
a lot of trivia. I even took an
iron.” Steve also has taken a
television, stereo, radio, sil
ver, vacuum cleaner — any
thing that could easily be
fenced. A professional, on the
other hand, strikes luxury
homes.
He does not ransack but
looks for things of extreme
value such as jewelry or a
safe, said Steve.
“The amateur is more dan-

gerous than the professional.
He usually has a lot to lose be
cause he has probably been in
trouble with the law many
times before,” Steve said.
“He does not want to be iden
tified.”
For this reason, Steve rec
ommends that a person awak
ened by noise lock his bed
room door and make a lot of
racket.
“Flush the toilet, turn the
light on, fake a one-sided
phone conversation. If the
thief knows somebody else is
in the home and awake, he’ll
leave immediately.”
But don’t go out to confront
the intruder. If he is an ex
con, instead of running he
may shoot because he has
everything to lose if identi
fied, said Steve.

Lubrication may help
More advice on nose bleeds
By Lawrence Lamb, M.D.
Dear Dr. Lamb —Your com
ments about nose bleeds re
mind me of a similar ex
perience I had about a year
ago. I had intermittent but
persistent nose bleeds for
about a week. The difference
was I am an adult. Two
specialists handled my case.
They checked my blood pres
sure and suggested that the
air in my home was too
warm and dry. They cauter
ized twice, but I still had
nose bleeds. Finally the doc
tor gave me a prescription
for medicine which he told
me was for my blood, and
also told me to get a tube
of surgical lubricant. I used
the small finger to rub this
into each nostril at night
before retiring. The doctor
thought the medicine
solved the problem. Packing
also was always effective.
Dear Reader—My faith in
the fundamental goodness of
people and their desire to
help others is always re
stored by the many letters I
get from readers making
helpful suggestions about
other peoples’ problems. I
received a lot of suggestions
about nose bleeds.
It is true, particularly in
older people, that the lining
of the nose may dry out. The
scaly scabs inside are irri
tating and may bleed. They
also stimulate people to pick
their noses, causing bleed
ing. Any good lubricant in
the tip of the nose will help
solve the drying out prob
lem. A petroleum base jelly
or Vaseline is useful or any

ry prevention. “Ihe living
room light theory is no good.
It doesn’t scare off burglars
anymore. And a porch light is
an advertisement, ‘We’re not
home.’”
There should be two lights
at least.
In a two-story home, turn on
one downstairs and one in an
upstairs bedroom, indicating
that someone may be reading.
In a one-story home, there
should be one in the back and
one in the front — preferably
in a corner bedroom.
“Two good door locks are
the best preventative. These
must be opened simulta
neously, which is difficult for
a burglar reaching in from a
broken window beside the
door.
“A watered lawn is good. A
burglar will think twice about
of the surgical lubricants.
The idea is to keep the lining
oiled and retain the natural
moisture in the cells below
the surface of the lining.
The lining of the nose is
most apt to dry out during
the winter months when the
humidity is sharply de
creased in many heated
houses. The air tends to dry
out the nasal passages.
Some of the other sug
gestions for nose bleeders
from different readers is the
use of vitamin C that some
claim has been very suc
cessful. Others have sug
gested stopping other vita
mins, particularly cod liver
oil and Vitamin A. Still other
readers think they have got
ten success by taking vita
min A.

stepping in moist dirt of a
flower bed below a window
and leaving a shoe print. And
if he does, police have some
good evidence.”
A local newspaper is a bur
glar’s directory, Steve said.
Obituaries list the time and
date of services. “Even the
sickest person in that house
will be dragged away to that
funeral.”
Social columns list party
guests of prominent people
which is like marking their
homes as potential targets
during the celebration.
Upcoming events — balls,
bar mitzvahs, weddings, etc.,
also are announced — adver
tising that people will be away
from home, Steve added.
A bedroom of a house where
a party is in full swing is a
haven for women’s purses and
easily accessible — through
the front door many times.
The best safety device a
person can buy is insurance,
said Steve. Whether he lives
in a house or apartment, jew
elry, furs, furniture and other
valuables should be insured.
And after a crime is discov
ered, a person should check
for missing credit cards and
charge plates — often unsolic
ited and discarded in bedroom
drawers.
Next: Home security can be
costly.
about iron for nose bleeds.
The purpose of taking iron
is to replace iron lost from
actual bleeding. Anyone who
has presistent hemorrhage
or loss of blood from any
place, whether it be from
an ulcer, nose bleed, hemor
rhoids or menstruation, has
a loss of iron. If the bleed
ing is persistent eventually
this will deplete the body’s
stores of iron and they need
to be replaced.
