The Thanksgiving holiday is just around the corner,
Many students have started their own travel plans!
But don't forget to lock your doors and windows when you go out!
Otherwise, your home may become
Someone else's "vacation gateway" is up...
Last Friday (November 18), a man in Florida turned on the "Thanksgiving vacation mode" in advance - in an empty vacation home, he comfortably soaked in a luxurious bathtub, made himself a cup of coffee with a mug, and then slept beautifully on the big bed...
However, all this is actually a realistic version of "Parasite"!
The 29-year-old man, Zachary Seth Murdock, smashed the glass on the front door of the holiday apartment and entered the unoccupied house, initiating the above-mentioned "vacation act."
In fact, it began later in the day, when the police received a call to investigate a theft in another house on the same block. Then a woman on the spot expressed her concern to the police: she suspected someone had broken into a house in the same neighborhood and hoped the police could help by the way.
She said she saw a man wearing a baseball cap and dark shirt and pants hovering outside her home earlier in the day and trying to pull the glass door open. Because the glass door in the woman's home was locked, the man did not succeed (you can see how important it is to lock the door casually!). ）
After hearing the noise, the woman walked to the glass door and asked the man through the glass, "What are you doing?" The man said he was looking for someone named Tony, and then left quickly.
The more the woman thought about it, the more wrong she felt, sensing that the man was trying to "break through the door", so she told the police her concern that he would break into the homes of others in the community.
Sure enough, after a search, the police found the vacation home that had been broken into and arrested Zachary on the spot.
Following the man's arrest, the Sheriff's Office took to social media to share details of the crime, calling it an "incorrect way to take a holiday".
The suspect smashed the glass on the porch door, entered the uninhabited vacation rental, used the bathtub, slept in the bedroom, and made himself a cup of coffee with a mug (which was then left on the back porch)...
Zachary is also said to have stuffed his kitchen trash cans with garbage, including his ticket stubs for the bus.
After investigation, Zachary's identity was quickly established, born on November 18, 1993... The day of the crime was his birthday!
But the "Tony" cop he called still doesn't know who it is—maybe Zachary's made-it up.
While netizens ridiculed online, they also expressed their concerns
"From Tony's reply."
"Welcome to the story of 'Florida Man'."
"He could be Iron Fist, but you guys don't believe him."
"Birthday in prison... Awesome! ”
In the United States, whether in large cities or small villages, home safety cannot be ignored.
The end of the year is a holiday-intensive period, many people choose to return to China to visit relatives or go on vacation, so at this time try to make the house look not "empty", but a long-term inhabited state, fundamentally prevent intruders or thieves from targeting your house.
Secondly, be sure to close the doors and windows - this is also the most basic self-protection measure! From small apartments to large houses, homes may have a few to a dozen windows, which are the best entrances for intruders. Therefore, before going out, be sure to systematically check that all windows are closed tightly, and remember not to leave any chance for thieves.
Even if you live in a high-rise apartment protected by a doorman, intruders can't enter the house through high-altitude windows like "Spider-Man", so always pay attention to whether there are any tailgating.
And be sure to develop the good habit of carrying the key with you and locking the door when you go out, even when you go out for a short time such as taking express delivery and taking out garbage.
