A group of thieves has been traveling through neighborhoods and using a ruse to gain entry into residences. While they are detracting the resident, another suspect goes inside the home and directly to the master bedroom to steal jewelry and other items.
It's really hard not to answer the front door, especially when the voice on the other side sounds harmless. But the San Diego Police Department is warning people in several communities that their neighbors have been burglarized as a result of being polite. What do we know about these crimes and these criminals that will protect us from becoming their next victims?
