A York Region woman is certain that three people going door to door in her neighborhood are a break-in gang. Their method is to have the young woman (seen above) knock on the door to check if there’s anyone home. This is a well-established trick. In this case, it seems the woman is in voice contact with her accomplices, two men slowly moving along the street in an old Mercedes. The homeowner, Debra Cossaro Di Benedetto, delayed opening the door. But the woman hung around outside for as long as five minutes. That is an extraordinarily long time for anyone to wait at the door. Di Bennedetto finally asked through the door what the woman wanted. She said she was looking for “John” and quickly departed. Later, when Di Benedetto viewed her own video and that of neighbour, she saw that the two men had emerged from the old Mercedes and were about to go between the houses when they suddenly turned around and left. Now she feels sure that when she spoke to the woman at her door, the door-knocker sent a voice alarm to her accomplices that someone was home. That sent them all scurrying away.
