this is the longest wireless alarm ad
-
My wife's credit card was stolen but i didn't bother to get it back cause the thief was spending less than my wife
-
When a thief says the best deterrent is to be neighborly it shows how reluctant we are to talk to each other and its sad.
-
I love how professional this interview is and the respect between criminal and law. They are showing that he’s a nice person but had a shitty career choice! Awesome doc
-
If a robber broke into my house looking for money I would look with them
-
If I'm looking inside a house and I see a bottle of Dawn or Tide, that's a detergent.
-
Something tells me, by doing this interview, he has helped a lot more people than he hurt.
-
Our home was robbed on a bad weather day (heavy rain). The cops told us they felt safer breaking-in while the rain noise helped them from being easily heard or from neighbors hearing. They'd cased our place & waited for bad weather & us being gone to work.
-
Someone broke into my house, I woke up while he was searching for money, so I helped him search because if there's money in the house, I'd be shocked.
-
Plot twist: the police officer wants to start robbing houses and wants advice
-
This guy was the most positive gentleman I ever heard to be facing 20 to 30 years in prison
-
this guy's knowledge and understanding about his "target customers" is way beyond most sales people in any businesses
-
At first I was wondering "Why is he so careful to make sure no one is home?" Then I remembered he was in Texas. Not wanting to get shot can be a great motivator.
-
5:15 "I don't want to ever enter a situation where I'm confronted by anyone". Story of my life.
-
Think we need to take a minute to appreciate that this man knows he's done wrong and is helping do right now
-
I truly hope Shane has been honest and truthful and actually suffers remorse and stays clean of drugs. When he gets out please continue with these public service messages and visit with local PD and community groups with this sort of message. It will help a lot of people
-
just finished watching this alright wish me luck guys
-
"I look for well kept homes" And all my idiot friends that kept telling me to clean up my home. Who's laughing now?!
-
Sounds like a job interview.This fella could've been a success in anything legal with his planning & executing a task to the best chance of succeeding.
-
No one answers the door anymore even when they are home
