It Takes a Thief

I loved this show and really wish they would bring it back.

I love how they pick a house break in and take everything they can and the owners are so shocked and mad it just makes me laugh.

First off...Of the two guys setting things up and doing the therft only one is a former their. I think the other has been in the security business long enough to be considered a expert. As for the actual burgerlies....This guys skill and sophistication in the craft is much higher than most B&E guys. Skills like his would likely be used on far more profitable scores than most residential scores would bring. Most B&E's are guys looking for soft targets. They break in and grab as much as they can very quickly. However; The show would have become very boring really fast if they did them as local junkies and/or teens often do them. Instead we watch how he cases the places to note their routines. We see in some cases how he manages to get pat a dog or even dogs. All is caught on cameras that have been set up for a week or two.. The home owners who see just how easy it was for him to win over their dogs were absolutely shocked. Frankly I don't know why...They after all spent a lot of time teaching their dogs to accept people they accept....So a guy with treats like steak...Must be very acceptable....I really like this show a lot.

When I was watching the Discovery channel one day, I noticed this show was on. I had nothing better to do or watch so I decided to see what it was about. The show amazed me from the start.

The hosts are ex-burglars who have the skills and knowledge of burgling to help instruct people on ways to improve their security and protection. It's always interesting to watch how they rob a family or person of their entire possessions and do it so quickly that their getaway is almost perfect.

After the owners return and realize they have been robbed, they return their possessions as well as giving them much needed protection for their safety and to help prevent further burglaries and break-ins.

The show is always interesting to watch and keeps me entertained since they always steal so much in so little time. It a show that keeps us informed about the dangers of robbers and also shows us the chaos of burglaries and theft in action.
