Part Four of our ongoing series on crime prevention focuses on protecting your home against burglary. Sticky Fingers, an experienced burglar now serving a 6-year prison sentence, agreed to talk to our reporter.Reporter: Sticky, what do you look for before burglarizing a house?Fingers: Well, first, I make sure no one is home and no one is watching. I nose around neighbourhoods where people don’t seem to know each other very well. That way, I won’t be noticed. Next, I try to find a house where the people are on holiday and not likely to return soon. I do this by looking for houses with no lights on in the evening. Then I look at doorways. They’re a sure giveaway(暴露). When newspapers, mail, and deliveries are piled up, I can tell that people have been away from days. I can even count how many days from the number of newspapers.Reporter: 4 ?Fingers: Well, usually it’s easy and effortless. Lots of times people leave a window open, or doors and windows unlocked. Then I just slip in, when I have to break in, I look for a patio(露台) door on the first floor. They usually have weak locks and you can force them easily. I watch out for dogs, though. If I hear a dog barking, I go somewhere else.58. The series is mainly about how to prevent crime, isn’t it?_______________________________________59.
