    10.  Fake ID For Above (Optional)

    Procedure:
        This article was originally written by Luke, and revised by The
Stainless Steel Rat.  I, TSSR, am revising this article and can assure that
it works.  I've personally done break in's, here on out named "BK".  I've
done more than 5 less then 10 before I got caught.  I will personally
assure you that I got caught, not from doing anything wrong, but one FUCK
head I was with, had someone turn us in.  Well enough of that.  On with
what you've been waiting for.

        The first thing you probably would have wanted to do by now is
found yourself a house.  If you haven't done that yet, listen to people who
are talking.  Of course you don't have to like them, but you'll wanna know
who's going on vacation, or who's parents are leaving, etc..  Then you'll
wanna get all ready.  Obtain as many of the Required materials we've listed
and then you should be all set.  Your best bet would be to case the house
you have in mind.  Make sure you know when and where they always are and if
they're going on vacation, make sure you know when they'll be back and
any info about house-sitters.  If the house you're going to hit has an
alarm system, this shouldn't be a problem.  Most houses have an
advertisement for the alarm they have for information.  Simply call that
number and ask general questions.  Then work your way to their type of
alarm systems.  Ask them a question like this..."I've got a friend who told
me that they've got this new type of alarm system that can radio the police
instead of using the telephone lines.  How much do one of those run?" or
something to that effect.  If they do have one, then, you'll want to see if
it's a silent alarm or not.  If it isn't and you see one of those alarm
boxes on the outside of the house.  DON'T DO IT.  Better be safe then
sorry.  If it is a silent one or if they don't even got one, you're set.

    Make sure you have superglue on all you fingers, so as to not lose
flexibility and to hide fingerprints.  You'll never want those nasty
things around.  Now on with the house.
    All the houses in my area have telephone boxes (cans) on the side of
their house besides the one at the end of the street.  They're little green
things shaped like this:

        figure 1:
        ____________________________
        |                           |
        |     Telephone Symbol      |
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
about 1 1/2 feet long and maybe 5 inches wide.  You'll need to unscrew this
box with a flathead, most likely, but it might be a phillips.  Once opened
you should see a box somewhat like this:

            figure 2:
               | | <-- thick tannish wire
               | |
            |~~~~~~| <-- tannish box with black underbelly.
            |      |
            |______|

The tan box and black box should separate.  You should now see green and
red wires.  If you've got a beige box, you can have fun, otherwise cut all
the wires, here and anywhere else in this little box.  Some houses have
more than one line, so they'll have two of those tan boxes.  Be sure all
the lines are shredded.  Your next choice of action will be to go into the
garage.  Find where the alarm box is on the outside of the garage or the
inner part of the roof.  Alot of houses don't have electric garage openers
on there garage.  If you've got one with a 3rd car garage, cut the brackets
off, not the lock.  The lock is usually secured the part over the bracket.

          figure 3:
          --|---+|+--- <-- latch
            ^   ||| <-- over bracket
            ^    ^
            brackets

If one of these doesn't exist, then you'll have to find your own way into
the garage.  You HAVE to get in there if there is a NON-SILENT ALARM.
Otherwise get in through the backyard, a window or some shit like that.
Once the alarm is off.  You're fucking set.  Once in the garage however,
you'll wanna trace the lines of the box outside, inside and jack up those
wires.  So if the alarm isn't silent and it goes off...well you know
nothing's gonna honk.  Well now you know how to get around the alarm and
basically that's all you need from me.  Use the tape to break windows more
silently.  Tape the window as much as possible and just hit it.  Once in the
house, get whatever the fuck you want, and if you want drive out with their
cars using spare keys.  Drive the cars ONLY if they are on vacation, and be
SURE to ditch 'em by the NEXT morning.  Like I said, better to be safe then
sorry.  You don't want a felony on your record like me.  The rent-a-car comes
in at the beginning of the whole thing.  It's just so that if anyone does get
a plate down of a car seen there, it'll be found as rented and the person's
ID won't be legit, so hey..FUCK IT.  Rent-A-Cars are about 20-40 bucks a day,
so you can do it if you want.  You'll want the CB's/Walkie Talkies, so you
can have one of your ment positioned up the street to let you know if you
have to bone out.  Always have a RUNNING escape route planned before hand.
You'll ALWAYS want to know as mcuh about the house you're BK'ing before you
BK it, or you're probably gonna get phucked, and that just shouldn't
happen.  NEVER use real names in the middle of the JOB, and of course
you'll want to look as NON-conspicuous as possible.  Just don't BK my house
and I'll be happy.  The best to do are the gun-owners.  Those are always
easy to sell to the GANG market, or the more "elite" of the H/P.  I'm using
the real meaning of "elite", not the one the "Warez" people use.  Alot of
the true hacks and shit, are involved in more than computers and a gat is
more than welcome.  Take it from me.  It's comforting to have in those
gang-infested areas, when guys talk shit because you looked at his shoe or
something.  Well enough of that....We hope this wraps up what you
need to know.  If anything seems confusing, give me a line anywhere you
find me which isn't much.  Community service takes up alot of ones time
(and so does a girlfriend).  I Hope to next write a Check/Credit Card
Scamming article.  Hope to hear more from me soon..Laters..
