Security experts have revealed the meaning of the code ‘burglars’
Statistics show that December and January are the months when homes are most likely to be targeted by burglars, with 21 percent of burglaries occurring during the festive period.
While some crimes of this nature are opportunistic, other burglars plan ahead and operate in gangs, leaving these marks for other members.
Among the signs is a “thieves’ guild code,” dubbed the “Da Pinchi Code,” which uses symbols to indicate whether a property is likely to yield something of value and how many people live there.
Criminals investigating homes are most likely to mark walls, driveways, and fences with white or blue chalk or spray paint.
According to experts, burglars also used ropes tied to fences, stickers on bins and rocks to mark houses of interest.
Another sneaky trick of theirs, which started in Manchester around 2021, was leaving beans on doorsteps.
If the beans are not cleaned, would-be thieves would know that the property is empty.
Here we find out what some of the symbols mean. . .
