	I found an abandoned apartment building downtown today. The bottom floor, every door and every window was sealed up with 3/4" plywood that was BOLTED to 2x4s on the back side. There is gonna be no getting past that shit without a chainsaw or an axe. Above that, most windows are missing thier glass. This is right out in the open, entrance needs to be quick and stealthy. To make matters worse, a police impound lot is two blocks over and adjacent to that is the police HQ. You are surrounded by a very open and lit parking lot on two sides, a busy street adjoins the third side and a fenced off alley between two buildings (topped with barbed wire) is the fourth wall of the structure. Here is a Google Earth shot of what I am dealing with. The bldg with the white roof and the red/blue dot on the top is the target. I am thinking that the alley is the best point of entry, but how do I get up to a window like that without a ladder. Anyone have contraptions for this kind of thing that are stealthy?

	perhaps you could enter from underground? It seemed like a good idea at the time...

This is five floors up, crumbling brick. I am not sure I'd trust the hook not to pull through the brick, which if it did, would really suck bigtime. What I need is some sort of a collapsable ladder or something. I'm not sure what I need.

Oh yeah, I forgot that part: there is a fire escape ladder... and every door has been removed and this plywood bullshit done to it as well as the windows on both sides of the ladder.

hmmm...that sounds like it took a lot of work for "them" to make that fire escape a crappy entrance point. Sometimes if it looks like someone really doesn't want you in, you'd best stay out. I don't want to be a nay-sayer, but you gotta know when to fold 'em.

If there is a way, you'll be able to figure it out before we do. You know what it looks like, and you shouldn't have to resort to any MacGyver stuff just to UE a building.

	Go up a drainpipe or cable conduit, EVERYWHERE has some of these. (be careful of cable conduits, they have a tendency to come unattached from walls if you swing on them too much) If the building has a suitable part, chimney it (feet against one wall, back against another and sort of shuffle upwards). If you have an extension ladder, dump it in the alley 24 hours previously chained to something with a bike lock so nobody makes off with it, then come back so you've got a ladder handily pre-positioned for a quick entry.

	Well, this post is a very good example to show that UE'ers have a sence of humor I'm a climber, I don't know about your physical ability with climbing, but the fire escape ladder etc. should help, do it early in the morning though, Mid-day theres too many people, but you can see. Night is extremely suspicious but you're less likely to be seen. but like 4 in the morning is the best part of both. From the fingers of Blake www.borderlineblack.com

	does the fire escape go to the roof? you can take that up, then secure a hook or rope to something, then just repel over the edge into one of the open windows. "crap! tractor! tree!" points

	I am a big boy, there is no way in hell a cable conduit could hold me. I'm very sure that the crew that responded to scrape me up off the parking lot would get a great chuckle out of "the fat guy with the camera who tried to make entry using a 1" cable conduit". I went by today and did some recon photos and added the location to the DB (I want my star, damnit!) but only full members can see it of course. But it will give you all more of an idea of what I am dealing with... I just cant see a decent place in except maybe for the front (see the "Red Car" picture) but that is wide open in plain sight. Though, the thought of climbing up the huge umbilical cord of CATV cables did cross my mind... > http://www.uer.ca/...ow.asp?locid=25385 [last edit 10/10/2006 1:44 AM by minusonebit - edited 1 times] Commit a Random Act of Exploration.

	Try the easy way; ask the owner or realestate agent. Be honest, but having a silver tongue never hurt. Wait a bit for someone else to break-in, but if the owner is keeping up on it this isn't a good idea either. You may get charged for someone else's B&E. You may make in only to trip a "stealth" alarm. Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in.
