We are starting to see a disturbing trend in and around the Sacramento area, so I thought I would share what we are seeing. Within the last 2 months or so, appliances and other items have been "walking" out of vacant homes with no signs of forced entry. What has been discovered is that the items disappear after the property has had an open house. It appears that someone who is visiting the open house, is leaving a window unlocked, to come back at a later time to help themselves to a few items.
If you are doing an open house, whether vacant or occupied, do not just check the doors before you leave, but also check the windows to make sure they are all secure.
