The lockbox on a colleague's listing was cut off its railing yesterday, broken into, and then someone took the keys and broke into the house!
How this was possible, I'll never understand. We were told our lockboxes were impenetrable. Absolutely inviolable, they said...
You may consider having all showings be by appointment only. And, as an extra precaution, you also may want to have your clients
- stow all their valuables, and
- be sure their insurance is up to date.
These times are not fun. I have a friend who, for the first time in his life, is considering purchasing a gun. I think I managed to convince him that he'd only be putting himself and his family in more danger by doing so.
I know things are probably going to get worse before they get better, but we have to have faith that SOME day, sooner or later, hopefully sooner, we will be looking back on these times (and thanking the heavens they are over.)
