Fake DoorDash Leads to Burglary in Hope Neighborhood
By an edhat reader
This past Saturday night between 7:45pm-8:04pm, our house was broken into by three individuals (one female and two males (age 20-25).
The female walked up to our front door with a Doordash bag in her arms pretending to be a food delivery driver. Her intent was to see if anyone was home. She rang our doorbell and peaked inside. My video doorbell shows her standing in front of the door while the other two guys were creeping up and hiding outside of view.
If anyone had been home to open the door, we would have been ambushed. During this time, we were at work.
The two males went around to the back and opened my side gate. They opened a window from the back and climbed inside. The female stayed out front to be on the lookout and was communicating to the men on her phone.
We came home from work to discover our house was ransacked and everything thrown all over the floors. All the drawers were ripped out and belongings thrown all over the place.
These people came in looking some quick money. They took all of our cash and valuables.
We called the police. They came out and did their thing. This kind of stuff is happening regularly and will continue to happen.
This is a reminder to all of you to reevaluate and beef up the security of your home. Be careful and safe!

Feb 08, 2023 07:34 AMThere are many examples of lovely, old wrought iron window grates around SB and Mont. Truly hand wrought pieces are pricey and codes require that they be able to open from the inside in a fire emergency $$$. Blacksmiths are literally a dying breed, but I'll bet that Mexico can still produce hand made designs in solid stock at a decent price. If we had had them decades ago, we would probably still have all the sterling silver pieces that were hand wrought by my grandmother. Fluted bowls, Danish style tea service etc.

Feb 07, 2023 07:44 PMWhy is the video doorbell image so fuzzy? Mine Ring is crystal clear.

Feb 07, 2023 03:13 PMI’m curious if this was a “nice” house. My hope is that my poky little house won’t be appealing to robbers.

Feb 09, 2023 10:08 PMZeroHawk, back ant it again with the bold claims and disinfo. You really think this happened in hope ranch? It clearly says “Hope neighborhood” and no offense to the poster but that’s clearly not Hope Ranch.
Some people just love to sound like they are in the loop.

Feb 07, 2023 03:07 PMMy office was broken into and about $7,000 worth of valuables stolen. The burglar was injured coming through the window, with blood all over, but the SBSO refused to do a forensic blood analysis, saying, "This is not television. We don't do that." Well, pardon me for asking. I will just suck it up. Oh, what is that on your car door, "Protect and Serve"?

Feb 09, 2023 10:05 PMZeroHawk, I sure hope you get robbed of 7k this year. I can’t imagine how badly you’d gawk in the comments. Posts for days and a whole bible’s worth of text probably.
We all, you included, know that SBPD has two thumbs and a hammer up their own ass. You admit to training dogs for “guarding and protection” so I assume you’re just another blunt headed LE authoritarian asshole. That’s why you tell people 7k worth of loss and expecting the armed, dick cops around here to do something is “petty.” Last I checked, your kind of place is at least 500 miles east from here. I suggest you start packing, loser.

Feb 07, 2023 10:33 AMWait, you leave cash out where it can be found? Also as a homeowner, I hope you exercise your 2nd Amendment. It does not have to be Texas for you to be smart.

Feb 08, 2023 07:46 AMStatistics are easily manipulated. Every gun injury/death is recorded without exception. If no one is shot, the use of a firearm to defend ones home is rarely recorded. Tell the police and they say,"Good job." and they record nothing. Also the stats can be weighted; have to kill the perp inside your house compared with any firearm injury inside or outside your home.
I do agree that if they had had a gun that was not in a safe and/or well hidden, yes, there would be another illegal firearm on the streets.

Feb 07, 2023 04:36 PM"Smart" would be heeding the statistics: you are more likely to be injured or killed with a gun in the house, breakins or not. You're not as smart as you think you are.

Feb 07, 2023 03:32 PMEHDAT - the homeowner's were at work or didn't you bother reading it? What good would the 2nd Amendment do them remotely? Oh wait..... remote gun booby traps? Brilliant!

Feb 07, 2023 10:24 AMOP: So sorry this happened to you and your family. Such a terrible violation of one's home and sanctuary. I hope at the very least some of your valuable possessions will be returned to you. Hopefully the perps will be caught and punished.

Feb 08, 2023 09:27 AMconservative, its not normal. it happened once. don't start harping because SB isn't sheltered from the reality of the world and it's offenses. i'm positive it happens in other cities much more regularly, just not our town.

Feb 07, 2023 09:27 AMBarking dogs are your best home defense. And they become your fur friends. Robbers will avoid the encounter, and you'll have a happy face who greets you every time you come home. Get two and have a pack!

Feb 08, 2023 09:27 AMuh many dogs are in fact tools. my dogs are not pets. they are working dogs. working dogs are tools and extensions of ones self, guided by ones self. i train dogs for protection, guarding, SAR, drug detection and more.

Feb 07, 2023 02:12 PMPlease do not get a dog or dogs unless you have the time and money to spend. Dogs are not a tool. If you're not home all day and your dogs are barking and unsupervised, then you will only have unhappy dogs and cause misery to your neighbors.

Feb 08, 2023 10:06 AMZERO - careful with attempting humor here. Most of the righties are so scared and serious all the time, they assume everyone else is as well. Boy oh howdy did I learn my lesson trying a little satire about the look of a boat yesterday. Man! Yeah, we need to know our audience here. Satire, humor, sarcasm, etc falls on intentionally deaf ear and myopic minds.

Feb 08, 2023 09:25 AMi was being sarcastic, and i've talked to the cops, got friends there. it is not happening regularly. Just once. Also, if you didn't order doordash delivery.....
this is a one off robbery. not a regular occurence.
but as i said, lock your doors/windows or get a dog. i have always locked up my home, and have two belgian malinois waiting inside....

Feb 07, 2023 04:34 PMWe'll never find out. SBPD doesnt want you to know the crime stats. I'd they did, they would post them.

Feb 07, 2023 08:54 AMgovernment stimulus checks are running out so the takers of society who refuse to work are doing the next best thing to get money - since they know there will be no consequences - even if a LEO happened to see this crime in action that would probably stand down - since any attempt to intervene may cause some injury to the perps and result in major media backlash and potential lawsuits
this is another byproduct of people having stimulus money to fund their laziness - you now have all of the food delivery drivers cruising through neighborhoods that in turn enables takers to blend in and do this type of crap - I wouldn't be surprised if the perps needs to rob in order to pay for all of their Doordash food deliveries
