15 Things Home Invaders Say to Get You to Open the Door (Police Say Never Fall for Them)

Thirty years as a deputy and then sheriff, and I can tell you most break-ins never start with a crowbar. They start with a sentence at your door. These are the fifteen I heard most from the men I sat across the table from: the water company man, the dead car, the wrong name, the lost dog, the fake badge, the crying stranger at ten at night, and the two words that decide everything. For each one, what it's really for, and the one thing to say back. If you've had one of these at your own door, tell me which one in the comments. I'd like to know whether the lost dog or the water company shows up more where you live. My name is Roy Callahan and I'm a retired small-town sheriff. Names, places and case details in these videos are changed or combined to protect the people involved. This is general safety information from one man's experience, not legal advice. If someone is at your door and you feel unsafe, call 911. #homesecurity #burglars #homeinvasion #personalsafety #retiredcop #homedefense #crimeprevention #seniorsafety
