It's alarming to think that burglars can use seemingly innocent disguises to gain entry into your home. This disturbing incident in Stockton, California serves as a reminder of the importance of being cautious when dealing with strangers who show up unannounced at our doorsteps. While it is common for salespeople and solicitors to knock on doors, it is important to be vigilant and cautious.

In the surveillance footage below shows a man posing as a door-to-door candy seller, but he was actually part of a group of three men who broke into a home. The video shows the three men storming into the house as the terrified woman inside screamed. The man disguised as a candy seller fled the scene quickly, leaving the homeowners traumatized and violated. In a related incident that same day, a neighbor’s security camera caught the same candy seller trying to pull the same stunt at another home. But this time, the homeowner refused to open the door, which prevented the burglary from occurring.

As a homeowner, ensuring the safety of your family and property is your top priority. While many security measures are available, it is critical to remain vigilant and aware of potential threats. Always trust your instincts and call the authorities if you feel threatened or suspicious.

Keep your guard up, stay safe, and be cautious of strangers when opening your door.
