The Complete Guide to Burglary

Click Here for Secrets of a Superthief by Jack MacLean

1. Digital-capable Police scanner in car.

2. Digital-capable +/- Analogue Police scanners on waist utility belt.

3. Digital radio in car. Pioneer CD/MP3 player. GPS(TomTom? research needed). Mobile-Infrared Trip Device.
Laser detectors, jammers & veil. Phantom plate & spray.
Infrared GPS-based camera detection. Radar-based camera detection.

4. Two-Way radios. (Either links your to your buddy, or to the scanner in your car,
in which case you can dump the scanners ones on your waist)

5. Surgical gloves, thin leather gloves.

6. Coloured contact lenses, black nomex balaclava/skimask, black sunglasses, black bandana.
Oakley/Scott eye protection.

7. Chase Durer special forces watch, (Jack Bauer watch? lol.), casio digital watches.

8. Checking they are not home.
Don’t use landlines or mobile on the same day. Don’t ever mention your career on the phone. Leave your mobile at home.
If you must use one, use a payphone, or a spare pay-as-you phone. Hide your number (141 in the UK)
Burn the sim-card, throw the phone in the lake where you dumped that silly woman, lol.

9. “Digital Signal Processing” electronic voice changers.
Do you really want to go jail because the woman recognised your voice as identical to “that man in the balaclava”?
It’s already happened to one guy in America. Your voice is as individual as your DNA.

10. Footprints. Forensic problems + dirt placement. Rubber moulding can be used, but this affects the grip of the shoe.
You could just tape the bottom of your boots/shoes with thin strips of duct tape.
However, the police can still attain your shoe size from this.
Shoe size can be matched to approximate height, which if a seperate witness (post-crime) comes forward
can make you look a bit dodgy. I ain’t playin’ by whitey’s rules.

11. No fingerprints on any tools that are worn while inside a target. Surgical gloves + Rubbing alcohol.
(in case of a confrontation and dropping a Maglite or similar tool)

12. Don’t keep Stolen Goods in your own house, or anyone elses for that matter. Bury them in the woods.
Record the GPS location.
Keep the recorded location in a non-computerized non-digitized format (on a piece of paper!) somewhere hidden.
Better yet, memorize the co-ordinates.

13. Don’t keep Burglary Tools in your own house, or anyone elses for that matter. Bury them in the woods.
Record the GPS location.
Keep the recorded location in a non-computerized non-digitized format (on a piece of paper!) somewhere hidden.
Better yet, memorize the co-ordinates.

14. Leave no witnesses, prior, during and after, if at all possible.
It is very possible to remain unseen prior to the Burglary/Heist, and during it, but never underestimate the impact of being seen near the scene of the C, especially afterwards.
Even if you are not suspicious, the very fact you were seen is bad enough.
Being seen includes the possibility of forensic composites (drawn by sketch artists or computer) being produced.

15. 1/3/5 – Minute rule. Self-explanatory.

16. Cellular jammers(x2), 1) clamped to alarm panel, 2) worn on belt. www.spymodex.com

17. Wireless frequency jammers (x1), needs large range(high power), worn on belt. www.spymodex.com

18. Fingerprint dust for alarm panel, rubbing alcohol. Tiny camera can be planted if you’re prepared to bug them in order to
get the code.

19. Dogs can smell fear, don’t let it happen. Blane Nordahl walked past sleeping dogs, so can you.

20. Glass cutters, laser if necessary.

21. Handcuffs, cable ties, rope.

22. Stun batons, stun guns, tasers, flick batons, mace.

23. Method of entry (lockpicks, window/panel removal, breaching charges, C4)

24. Abseiling.

25. Fitness (5 miles must be possible in 30 minutes)

26. Strength training, agility, balance.

27. Tell nobody.

28. Alibi: plausable deniability. “Officer, how could I have been there? At the supposed time of this crime I was out at the x vs y boxing fight in NYC”.

29. Computer equipment should never enter the target location, except for very special circumstances.

Tactical, military, and radio equipment is preferred.

30. Smoke grenades, Flashbangs, Tear Gas.

31. Gas masks.

32. The police essentially have 3 things to work on. Evidence, witnesses and ‘modus operandi’.
The police are good at their job, but cannot solve the impossible.
Some departments have more time, money and resources.
Most will just attempt to attain latent prints at entry/exit points, and maybe darkened room footprint examination.

33. Evidence – What day did it occur? What time did it occur? Were residents present?
Nosy neighbours hear anything, see anything? Suspicious vehicles or people?
What has been stolen? What value does this have? Identifiable features?(serial numbers?)
Has anything been left behind? (Tools)
Fingerprints, footprints, hairs, DNA?
Is anything out of place, yet not “stolen”? Pillowcases?
Witnesses- BEFORE – Car area? Driver? Neighbourhood? Surrounding area? Suspicious people?
DURING – Were the home owners in? Did they hear noises and disturb the burglar?
Did people return home to find a window smashed or door pried open/kicked in, or even picked?
AFTER – Did anyone see a suspicious character in this rough area at XX:XXpm?
How tall were they? What were they carrying? How was their demeanour?
Were they seen in the company of anybody else? Did they get into a car?
Modus Operandi – What was the rough time of the crime? How was entry attained?
Were the home owners lax on home security or the total opposite?
Check the house for a different exit point to entry?
(especialy in cases where people return home and end up disturbing burglars).
How clean does the crime appear?

There are 4 type of burglars, OPPORTUNIST, JUNKIE, SEMi-PRO and PROFESSIONAL.

The chances of having your house targeted by professional burglars is extremely low. I ain’t playin’ wit ya ass, so don’t call up and play wit me.

34. Wait until people are out, B-IN, S-THE-STUFF.

35. Entry (2 routes) Exit (2 routes). At the very least.

36. The Internet is your friend, it’s not only for porn. Despite what Google claim, Google Earth and Google Maps were actually made for burglars.

37. Learn from the best. The 4 best burglars of all time.
(Alan William Golder – www.dinnertimebandit.info , Bill Mason – “Confessions of a Master Jewel Thief, The Dinnerset Gang (Peter Salerno), Court TV Masterminds show, www.dinnersetgang.com , and Jack MacLean – 1983 book Superthief.)

38. Watch Masterminds on CourtTV for hints. Watch Forensic science shows. CSI, Law & Order, LA Forensics, AMW, CrimeWatch UK. Learn to plant false evidence.

39. Military boots, and anti-sweat socks.

40. Hygiene (maybe a bit of a silly one, but I’d keep fingernails and toenails as short as possible, same applies to all body hair.)

41. Don’t trash the place, it wastes time and achieves nothing. Remember, this is nothing personal. This is not a competition, this is a co-operation.

42. Get a decent set of screwdrivers, pliers, alligator clips.

43. Get a decent tool for prying open doors and window frames. I recommened Blackhawk’s Hallagan tool.
Dynamic Entry make a good range of bolt cutters, prybars, and battering rams. www.blackhawk.com

44. Never target your own neighbourhood.

45. The big brother affect. If you are going to be entering and exiting any major cities, seriously think about
CCTV and cameras (I am a bit over obsessed with this topic).
If you are using a stolen car, it will flag up on CCTV possibly,
or on UK Police ANPR system (Automatic Number-Plate Recognition)
This system checks the database for the owner of the car, the status, the licence, tax, and past history.
If you use your own car, never park within 3 miles of a target (hence fitness becomes very important).
Use Radar-based and GPS-based camera detection, laser detection, laser jammers and laser veils on your car.
Use Phantom Plate covers and spray to make your car invisible to cameras.

46. Night vision goggles. Real life should be as similar to Splinter Cell and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six, as possible.

47. Don’t leave messages behind. Again, it’s very tempting. Blame Don Vincent, aka “Reverend X”.

48. Attn UKers: Don’t cut the phone lines unless you know they don’t have BT Redcare.
BT Redcare monitors the phone line, if it’s cut, it still signals as suspicious.
BT Redcare has an option called Redcare GSM, where alarm landlines are monitored and have a GSM cellular backup link.
I’ve emailed several alarm companies asking them about jamming. I got conflicting results.
However, because Redcare GSM uses the BT O2 network, via a GSM signal, I think it could be blocked like any normal cellular phone.
BT Redcare GSM is only activated if the home landline is tampered with, but it is always “silently active”.
It does send the occasional signal to the monitoring centre. Not sure how often, probably 1 per minute at most.
Besides, over 90% of UK alarms are false alarms, so maybe you’re not scared of alarms.

49. http://www.smartwater.com/
http://www.redwebsecurity.com/

These are basically marker devices. SmartWater can be used to mark home items, and spray over intruders.
The police use UV-lamps to analyse stolen goods and people who may be suspects.
Better get used to these, because they are here to stay.

50. Never use chewing gum on the same day as the crime.
Never bite your fingernails. Recently a BBC1 show called “Beat the Burglar” demonstrated how DNA can be extracted
and matched to the scene of the crime.
If breaking a window is required, make sure you are very careful. Wear two layers of gloves and cover the soles of your
shoes. “Beat the Burglar” featured SOCO’s (scene of crime officers) finding minute blood stains on broken glass from
both windows and doors. This is used to match DNA to offenders on record, to help prove innocence, and if arrested, guilt.

51. Mirrors on extendable rods, to check for sensors and type of sensor.

52. Once inside, find the landline phone sockets and phones. Remove the connection cable for the wall socket, and cut it.
If the phone or phones are “Digital Cordless” (for example DECT or wifi), this will make them useless. If it is a standard analogue phone, repeat the
same process, then cut the line linking the handset to the base. I have already mentioned cellular jamming, and this
is an excellent addition to your equipment. However, these tactics will probably not stop the “nosey neighbour” syndrome.

53. UV lamp for inspection of marker like Smartwater..

54. Burglars learn to adapt to security systems. In New Jersey, some burglars developed a unique break-in method.
The burglars would rattle the windows causing the alarm to sound and then hide in the bushes, waiting for the police to arrive. Once the police found nothing and left the location, the burglars would proceed with the break-in.

55. The problem with security systems is that they don’t necessarily stop people from breaking in. The security system is
only activated when the burglar has broken into the house. Also, by the time the intruder is detected and someone
responds to the alarm, there could be enough time for the intruder to remove items and leave. If the system does not
cause visible or audible alarms to flash or sound at the site, or there is no one nearby to see or hear these site
alarms, the intruder can leave without being seen.

56. How Do False Alarms Affect Service?
False alarms with security alarm systems are a significant concern. It is estimated between 95 percent and 99 percent
of the alarms received are false. Because of this, most police departments require the system, if it alarms remotely
by telephone, to first go through a monitoring company.
To combat the false alarm problem, some police departments are imposing fines for false alarms after a specified
number of false alarms.

57. Plant false evidence. See those cigarettes/chewing gum left on the ground immediately after use? Put on surgical/leather gloves.
Pick them up and put them in a an evidence bag. Leave them at the scene. Do not contaminate any evidence.
Raid bins for empty cans of juice. These provide valuable DNA evidence.

58. Keys left in door – coat hanger, string, straightening rods, loops.

59. Don’t be a moron, morons get caught.

60. Surveillance Via Cell Phones
It captures criminals:
Today, even murderers carry cell phones.
They may have left no witnesses, fingerprints or DNA. But if a murderer makes calls on a cell phone around the time of the crime (and they often do), they leave behind a trail of records that show not only who they called and at what time, but where they were when the call was made.
The cell phone records, which document what tower a caller was nearest when he dialed, can put a suspect at the scene of the crime with as much accuracy as an eyewitness. In urban areas crowded with cell towers, the records can pinpoint someone’s location within a few blocks.
Should a suspect tell detectives he was in another part of town the night of the murder, records from cell phone towers can smash his alibi, giving detectives leverage in an interview.
I am fine with the police using this tool, as long as the warrant process is there to ensure that they don’t abuse the tool.

61. Investigators tend to have difficulty solving crimes without cooperating eyewitnesses, knowledgeable informants, obvious suspects, or quick confessions.

62. The people who produce and write CSI have every right to take dramatic license. It is not their intention to mislead, but to entertain. Still, television is a powerful medium that can create false impressions. And the false impression created by CSI and other forensic science programs is this: That American detectives rely heavily on physical evidence, and do careful crime scene work. In reality, investigators in America have always gone for the quick solution to a case, preferring direct evidence in the form of eyewitness testimony, jail house informants, and confessions. Moreover, many prosecutors are uncomfortable pursuing circumstantial cases based entirely on physical evidence. Trials are less
about truth finding and justice than about winning and losing, and prosecutors want to win. Because circumstantial cases are risky, time consuming, and costly, prosecutors tend to avoid them. In reality, forensic science does not play nearly as big a role as it should in the solution and prosecution of criminal cases.

63. Pre-op surveillance.

Binoculars, directional/parabolic microphones.
Don’t be seen or heard. Ghillie suit. Camo’s.

64. FIVE FORBIDDEN PLACES by Walter Shaw
1. The master bathroom. Walter says that nine times out of ten, he hit the jackpot with a jewelry box on the vanity or in a drawer.

2. The closet. You’re not fooling anyone by hiding your jewelry out of sight. An experienced robber will know just where to look.

3. Your dresser drawers. Drawers are another typical hiding place for cash or jewelry.

4. The underwear drawer. Someone looking for valuables won’t be embarrassed about pawing through your delicates.

5. A nightstand. Even if they’re on both sides of the bed, Walter says, a criminal will check them thoroughly.

65. Watch the “Spirit of Truth” video on www.youtube.com, featuring Don Vincent, aka Reverend X. It will change your life for the better.

66. Play as much Soldier of Fortune 2, Rainbow Six, and Splinter Cell, as possible.

67. Stealth, Surprise, Speed, Self-Belief, watch them from every angle, dominate and control space by being there yet being invisible and quiet.

Guest G Manifesto: Restaurant Review, Roy’s Restaurant – Hawaiian Fusion Cuisine

» 14 August 2007 » In Guest Manifesto, Guide, Luxury, Travel » 18 Comments


So my girl and I went over to Roy’s recently.

The theme is Hawaii Fusion, east meets west. This is a chain with 34 restaurants owned by the Outback Streak house company.

I don’t normally do chain places, but Mark used to work there and said I should try it. He set the reservation for me, and his wife was to be our waitress.

The place:

This is a fairly nice place with the emphases on Asian tan colors, dark wood and some bamboo hints throughout the restaurant and bar. They have some really cool wall hangings. Think modern Asian. Nice ambiance and some cool lighting.

The bar area is nice, but smells like sour mix, this is from the rubber floor mats – a common problem in many bars. I wouldn’t want to eat at this smelly bar.

This is a full service bar. There were a few couples eating in the bar area. The bartender was responsive and knowledgeable about the menu. He only messed up one cocktail – forgetting the Grey Goose for my girls Cosmo. (She tasted the difference at once and sent it back.) He recovered nicely. I had the Kona Longboarder Lager, a nice golden lager, not so hoppy brew that won’t kill my taste buds. The bartender offered up a taster of the “House” martini – tasted like Malibu rum, ice and Skyy vodka. I didn’t like it all – too sweet.

The food:

We started off with a really nice Jalapeno Hamachi appetizer with a citrus ponzu sauce.
Paper thin slices of pepper top good size slices of fish along with grapefruit and avocado slices. A great app, good quality fish, nice flavor and not overboard on any one flavor – well balanced. Solid.

Second app was brought to us “on-the-house” and was a smoked salmon panko crusted meatballs. Tasted like smoked fish with panko – nothing special.

We took our drinks and were shown to our table by a tall long legged hottie. Both hostesses were pleasant to the eyes, and one seemed to actually have a brain.

We sampled a couple more apps. We tried the Hot Peanut oil seared Ahi with a soy sauce on it topped with black and white sesame seeds. The hot oil doesn’t really cook the fish as so much as bring out the natural fish oils –thus bringing out even more fish flavor. Very good app here.

We were brought a second on-the-house app – this was a lobster pot-sticker. Pot stickers are usually steamed or pan cooked. These were of the fried variety. They came out not hot, the fried wrapper was not crisp. I couldn’t taste any lobster in it. Served with spicy Togarashi Miso Butter Sauce (good sauce). Not prepared or served correctly.

Next up was a Chinese Muscovy Duck Neapolitan. Start with some sort of green veggie on the bottom of the stack, add a roasted red pepper next, top with duck confit and top with a combo of rich sauces. This one app could ruin an entire meal due to the high level of duck fat (but it’s a good thing). Very rich app with a good amount of duck confit. You could make a light dinner with this one.

Dinner for her was the Diver scallops with a risotto. The scallops were large nicely seared, not over cooked, and the risotto was great. There was a bur blanc type sauce that was done right. The dish was prepared well, and Camilla enjoyed it.

I chose a house special. Hawaiian Butterfish Misoyaki style. This is a very rich dish even for fish. The combo of white miso paste and glazed with teriyaki sauce makes it overall too sweet for my taste. It was served with a ball of sushi rice and a small braised bok choy as the veggie. Due to all the other food before I was only able to eat the fish – and that was difficult due to the richness of everything.

My Take:

Roy no doubt is a great chef with awesome skills.

The entire menu is based all around Roy’s special sauces created for each dish.
These sauces are more in line with heavy rich styles from France then anything from Asia, except for the basic ponzu sauce.

The food quality was good, and the presentations done nicely. The cooks seem to do a good job preparing as everything we had was cooked right, minus that pot-sticker.
The wait staff was on top of everything and provided good service.

Very rich dishes that showcase the sauce not the food.

I prefer more on excellent quality products prepared correctly. Let the high quality of the product speak for itself and use the complicated sauces to highlight the food – not cover it up.

Email of the week in regards to Going for Dolo:

“Nicely pieced together Sir! I am all about rolling solo. I have seen my last days of dragging and funding turds around all night. I have implemented a cover charge to hang out with me for the night, whether it’s my brother, Derek Jeter (who I saw you ho slap in Vegas) or some high rolling import who does leveraged buyouts. I charge $500 up front and $500 on the back end should one of these gremlins swoop on my deep stock of femininas. Even though I am comped EVERYWHERE including charities, I still make these critters buy me drinks that I just dump out and often make them fetch me such crucial G items as Viagra, e-tabs, Escobar, and additional female livestock. Rolling solo is my game too, but why not make a little bank roll off the chum? I tip my white Gucci top hat to you Lizard King, the Peoples Champ has spoken the truth once again!”

That is actually a really good idea, charging a cover charge to hang out, I like it. I typically will not let someone roll with me unless they are bringing a gang of Model girls, and I need to see photos beforehand for confirmation, to make sure they are Haute Couture Models, not something weesh, like a Model that just did some bathing suit print ad for a surf company. I am so sick of guys saying to me, “You already have two girls, can I come with you?”. Come on skippy, I can handle two girls by myself…..MPM
