Burglar Alarm Information – It Takes a Theif
There is a very interesting program on the Discovery Channel about burglaries. It is called, “It Takes A Thief”.
This show is hosted by two former burglars who have changed their ways. They are Jon Douglas Rainey and Matt Johnston.
The premise of this show is that the two burglary experts pick a home that they think they can burglarize. They then get the home owners consent to participate in the program. The producers explain the format of the show. They let the owners know that Jon and Matt will attempt to break into their home and simulate a burglary. The owners won’t know when it’s going to happen.
Jon and Doug then break in when the owners aren’t expecting it and ransack the home. The entire event is filmed. When the homeowners return home and realize that they have been hit, the producers film their reactions.
The crew then sits down with the family and reviews the footage.
After reviewing the footage, Jon and Doug, give them advice on how to prevent this from ever happening again. They challenge the residents to make the suggested improvements to their security practices and systems.
Again the homeowners are told that the sudo thieves will try to burglarize the home at a later date. The nervous participants wait anxiously to find out if their efforts will thwart the bad guys.
The second attempt to burglarize the home is filmed and the results are again shown to the home owners.
The program is really quite educational, interesting, and entertaining. I definitely recommend that you check it out.
Check your local listings for the times that this program is aired. Remember, it’s on the Discovery Channel.
