A long time ago, well, in the past year, my friends and I noticed that the building complex in our town was the perfect place to obtain unpaid-for items. We learned all we could about the complex, which was about 365,000 sqft, and each company consisted of an office (fully furnished with cool computer stuff), and a 10,000 sqft (roughly) warehouse, all interconnected, and all one level. This information was obtained through several calls to the town committee (board of development, or some shit like that, the place that you call for building permits, and the like.), and we obtained the blueprints for the whole complex. We planned a route from the side entrance through the warehouse, and into the offices, where all the good stuff is usually loacated. Now that we had our route, all we needed was a plan to get inside.
Since this was our first major job, we spent a few good weeks on preparation. During the snow weather, we worked w/ a company to shovel the sidewalks of the complex. One night, at about 11 pm, we stopped shoveling in front of our planned job site, Campbells Soup, Co. There was nobody there except the janitors that cleaned up the place (or so we thought). I asked the janitor if I could use the bathroom (I did have to go too) and he let me in. I must have surprised him when I knew exactally where the bathroom was! As I walked to it, I scanned for vid cams, infrared guns/recievers (little boxes at entrances with a black glass square about 1" sq. at about knee hight on each side).
Nothing. The doors all had security magnetic detection at the tops, and also the windows. To think someone would break in through an obvious place like a large window, stupid. To my surprise, there were a few losers working late, and did'nt really care that I was there at all. Take another Viverin' guys, I wont be here long. The smell of black coffee was stifeling. The bathroom was located back by the office's entrance to the warehouse, and to my surprise, it was unlocked! The lights were on, and the place was totally empty, except for a few cardboard remains, and shelves, and that blessed side door. I walked over to the door to examine it. No security, no vid cams in the warehouse, no nothing.
Odd, usually these warehouses were kept tight as a hookers pussy. But it looked like they were packing up to move somewhere. Boxes on the office desks, etc.. The door was locked with a key deadbolt (pain to pick) and a regular door-knob key lock. No problem. I needed to stop that deadbolt from being locked, so I looked around for something to use....aha! There was some strange material like alum. foil on the ground, pliable, yet of a black color. I took out a small allen key (a thief never goes ANYWHERE without a small lockpicking tool) and crammed enough of the stuff into the keyhole so that a key could not be inserted far enough to turn, and the stuff was inn to far to be pulled out. Viola! Back to the point of this story. When the time came to make our move, something strange happened.
The place was abandoned for 3 days straight, most office equipment removed, and the front door left ajar, for all 3 days. We still decided to enter via our planned route. At 1:30am we went to the side door, and what a surprise, the deadbolt lock was open. Now to the knob lock. It was still locked, but not a problem. Knob locks usually look like this:

|-wall socket
The top sliding piece is about 1/4" wide on popular locks, with the
bar facing you, if the door swings outward. With the smallest
allenkey you can get, stick it in and repeatively push and slide it
back towards the knob, but don't let go, because it is spring loaded
and will snap back into place again. Now for the larger bar. Take
another key and wedge it into the slot where the bar enters the
other wall (without the knob on it)! and do the same thing. This
will be considerably harder to do than with the small tongue, but if
you practiced like you should have, it will open with minimum effort.
Now we were inside. We ran through the warehouse thruogh the
warehouse/office door (these are rarely locked, but try to prepare
for it ahead of time by "cramming the lock" like I did) and into the
office.The place was empty, no shelves, just desks, chairs, and boxes. The boxes contained modems, motherboards, bus cards, printers, cables, fone cable, and one contained a Zenith laptop computer! No shit, this is a true story! We took everything we could carry (5 people). We took all the above mentioned, as well as printer toner, fones, fone jacks, documents, desk chairs, insulated boxes and bags (static-free kind), even the little shit things, like outlet plates, light bulbs, ANYTHING!!! We went really crazy, and were out in 2 min 30 sec.(always set a time limit)
We wound up throwing half the shit away, but it felt great just to take anything that was not ours!! I have since then done other "jobs" with much more precision, and effort, as well as better rewards. Here are some tips that should be followed when attempting to steal::
