I'm back, and with a vengence towards all authority and law... Shit, who needs 'em? Ok, this is a followup to the first two which dealt mainly with private home burgalery, which can be profitable and fun, but not nearly as in the case of commercial burgaleries (Forgive the mispelled title, but 2 M's just would NOT fit!). Fortunantly for us, the theives of todays modern world, laws help to protect us from the laws which we willingly violate. On the average commercial burgalers get half to one-third the punishment of those who do home robberies. Why is this? you might ask... Well, it's simple... The laws are the same, but our loving government doesn't frown upon infringing upon a business, as much as that of an individual. And since in most cases these types of crimes are the plea-barganers dream, you rarely see a jury trial. The more personal explanation is this, a person (including the judge) looks at someone who breaks into family homes like this "Hmmm... If I don't throw the book at him, he might break into my house.", whereas with businesses its more like this "Hmmm... I never really liked Radio Shack anyways...". Well, you get the general idea, residental burgaleries tend to hit too close to home (oh, what an awful pun!). Most of the same techniques apply to these type of breakins, although for the most part they tend to be easier. I have one question to pose for all you deviants out there... Why is it almost all the fraud-only groups turn out lame? Hmmm, the world may never know. Make sure to check out the other files I've written, and your nearest H/P dealer... As usual this carries the official Video Vindicator disclaimer, which basically states I take full responsibity for manipulating you into breaking into businesses, and I really secretly placed subliminal messages in my ASCII title art. Ok course, I take ABSOLUTELY NO responsibility for any legal uses found within this file, and make no claims, applied or real, towards the true existance of God. Thank you for your time. PLUS'S TOWARDS COMMERCIAL BREAKINS One of the most evident advantages of breaking into businesses is the fact that most likely after hours it will be deserted, and you pretty much have a good idea of when the people are slated to arrive the next day. This leaves out the always-present fear that someone will stumble into you why you're having a little uninvited party. Another plus to businesses is the fact that they tend to have just what you're looking for, since you pick them specifically for that purpose. And everyone knows new merchandise is much easier to sell than 'previously- owned' stuff. Businesses also tend to have either great locations, are great back entrances into them. This can make your life alot easier. Some older ones it could be possible to go in through the ceiling. Never pass this over, since it bypasses all primary security systems (but not motion...). The benefits, in my option, tend to outweight the ones involved in home, and tied in with the fact that they both share the same risk, but one a lesser punishment, is enough for me. Most of the file, I recap a couple of place's I've hit, and how I did them, so you can do them in your area. Make sure you have a reason to hit each one, and try to change your MO (Method of Operation) fairly ofter. Like go in through the window of one, then the roof of the other, etc... AHHH... RADIO SHACK I just HAD to break into this joke, since they always brag to customers about their 'high-tech' security system. What a laught. First off, locate the phone lines out. Unusally they are located on the top of the building, although some are on the side. Now, cut EVERY fucking wire in the thing... Wow, no phone - no call... Pretty simple, huh? Next take and hit the main window with the crowbar, the alarm won't go off for 15-30 sec (depending on weither they can figure out how to set it). During this time break the rest of the glass out of the window, so it isn't quite so obvious that its broken. Now run and hid somewhere that you can watch it from, after about 10 minutes the alarm will reset and stop. Now, Radio Shack is the only place you can do this type of raid on, since their system main bell is located inside the building, SEVERLY limiting the effective sound range, and combined with the fact it's probably in a business district, no one should be around to hear it's faint sounds. I personally prefer Friday or Saturday night around 11 or 12, since the cops are occupied elsewhere busting parties. Next, after the alarm resets, and you're sure that there is noone coming to pay you a visit, jump in through the window and run back into the storage area, this is usually where the bell is located. It should start up again shortly, but this time grab the bell and/or wires and rip the damn thing down. Now you have successfully disarmed their best alarm system. I personnally feel a little more gratification by smashing the unit itself with the crowber, just for added effect. Now just rape the place and get out. Nothing could be simpler. Now here's one advantage to picking Radio Shack as one of your first hits, if you go in before, usually 2 or 3 weeks, you can ask any question that comes to mind concerning their alarm (and getting around it) to any of their highly trained (Ya, right.), professional salestaff. This way you can see if their system differs from any of the ones I've hit. Some things that you should definantly get while in there are the following items: A Police Scanner (the 20 channel version), 4 good walkie-talkies (in case you want to include some others on your next raid), their 386-sx laptop computer (for hacking, since it you're forced to leave it somewhere, at least you only left a fucking Tandy), and anything else that might be benefical to an up-and-coming criminal. UNITED PARCEL SERVICE (UPS) UPS is GREAT. This place doesn't know the meaning of the word security. I hit these losers 8 times before they finally caught on! This is a good job for all those who don't want to physically go into a building, but still want a lot of shit. UPS is kinda like a free-for-all in a mall, since you don't know what the hell you're going to find in the trucks. Anyways, heres what you do. UPS has this nasty habit of parking their semi's full of packages in the back of their parking lot on Saturday night. One note, Saturday is the ONLY night you can do this, since they open and close so damn late every other night. Anyways, all you do is take a bolt cutter with you, and pick a good looking semi in the back... Cut the little lock-ie-thing (it's not a real lock, just some wierd reusable metal thingy), slide the back open and WALA, you're in! Like I said, security? I found it was best to just say forget neatness and jump into the back, throwing out boxes that you don't want. Now, I personally look at the return address, if it sounds like something I'm interested, I toss it into the back of the car, if not, on the ground it goes. One variant you might want to try (which I have not), would be to insure some empty box for a totally high amount, and send it Saturday afternoon (so you know it's in the semi), then look specifically for it. When it's gone, UPS forks over the insured value... in cash... very convienient. UPS also seems to loop security blankly in the face, and place their office in the middle of nowhere... Making it very obvious for you if anyone is approaching. I personally would have 3 people on a job like this. One would be in the truck, searching through the boxes. One would be sorting through the one he throws down, and placing them in the vehicle. The final would be waiting in the vehicle, listening to scanner to have a little warning if any pig got the idea to come out and nose around. Only the first two should be in walkie-talkie contact, but the third should have easy access to one, so he doesn't get distracted from the scanner by the first two talking. You can look at up to 6 hours there safely! Make sure to case it out first so you have a good idea of just how long you really do have. Here's a little side note on all the times I did it. The first three times were fine, but on the fourth they placed the semi's back-to-back, so you can't get it. So solve this, cut the hydrolic cables at the front, on both, and they will 'kneel' so you can get it! On the fifth attempt type moved all the semi's into the building and left the little brown trucks outside, so I went around and vandalized EVERY one. Needless to say, the semi's were out the next weekend, but so were the cops, so I skipped that one. Finally they wised up, paid their people mass-overtime, and cleaned out the semi's before I got there... So hopefully you can apply this to your own situation. THE POST OFFICE You probably are thinking, Why the hell you would you want to break into the post office? Well, the answer is simple, you see, every PO is your area has a postal key, which will open EVERY big blue mailbox, EVERY apt complex letterboxes, EVERY place a postman might go! It's a large, easy to duplicate key that looks kinda like this: ## ## #### #### ## ### ######## This is like a VERY crude ####### #### ##### ##### ## drawing of what they actually ################################# ## look like, but you get the ####### #### ##### ##### ## general idea. It's about 3x #### ## ### ######## the size of a normal key. ## ## #### The left side is just a mirror image of the right. You could easily copy it if you have a shop class and access to like those metal folders and cutters. Usually it is kept towards the back of the PO, in a big chain-link cage... Which you can cut through with bolt cutters. Once again, like UPS, choose to do it on a Saturday night, so you have no fear of being discovered. There are some negative and positive things about this place that I should mention, It is a federal building, so therefore a federal offense when breaking in... So roughly translated what this means is don't get caught. The plus is no matter how many times you break in, they will never put in an alarm, and they will only strengthen security the way you got in (just as stupid as UPS). I remember the first time we broke in, we went in through the back door, it opened out, so we just removed the little hing-things and took the door off. The second time they made a door that opened in, but made out of cheap wood, so we kicked it in. The third time they made it a steel door, but they left a fucking window in it, so we broke the window and reached in to unlock it. The fourth time they made an all-steel door, no window, so we went in through a cheap skylight in the roof. The fifth (yes, five fucking times!) we just smashed one of the windows on the side and went in through that. The post office was like on of out little hobbies... There really wasn't much to take, but it sure was fun breaking in!
