Update to my earlier posting on crime at open houses and staged builder’s homes: talked to Cliff Ellman and Jane Mills today of Spiffi Decor – home stagers extraordinaire — and they tell me they are not putting one lick of furniture or accessory outdoors — not on the front porch, not on the patio — because those items are 100% guaranteed to disappear.

I remember that about 6 years ago one of a just-completed construction Commercial property had all their new planted trees, shrubs ( I am talking about “many”) surrounded the “big” parking lot been dig out and stolen. It took owner a while to figure it out why the property looked different.
When bad guys has a bad will (for drug, ..), they will find a way.
At least, that incident had no one got shot.

Further proof that all realtors should pack heat. You see someone stealing a chair, bush or tree, just shoot ‘em.
