    REVEALED: The signs and symbols burglars are using to mark YOUR home before breaking in
    A LIST of cryptic codes and symbols believed to be used by BURGLARS to mark homes as they plan raids has emerged online.

    It is understood that the crooks may be using the series of codes to offer in-depth information on households - including whether the occupant is vulnerable and if they have been burgled before.

    The signs, which range from labelling a house as a "good target" to "nothing worth stealing", are supposedly marked on the walls of a property to help thieves target homes. A total of eight signs and symbols were revealed on the list - which also include "too risky" and "wealthy". Britons are now being urged to watch out for these markings, which were published on a police Twitter feed and Facebook page.

    "Alarmed House"

    I thought the Alarm would have been a bit of a giveaway.

    So, merely by chalking the "nothing worth stealing" symbol all over my hoose I can get rid of my expensive alarm system.

    I think I'll keep my pressure pad traps, tho. They're funny.
