Posted by Dee Ashley I guess these are more tips than anything else, but these are only a handful - there are tons of them! Check the kilowatt box for any activity. A couple of kilowatts being used is probably nothing, but a steady uptick in the kilowatts might be an issue, or at least a reason to be extra careful. When looking for clues/assurances that a place is abandoned (this mostly applies to houses), check the mail box. If there are cobwebs, that's a good sign. Recent letters are a bummer. In general, one of the first things I do in a place is look for anything with a date on it (expiration dates, inspections dates on fire hydrants or vehicles, etc). Don't smoke inside a building if you want to be stealthy. Anyone else will smell it and it lingers. I've heard of people getting caught and/or detected that way. I've been alerted to someone else's presence by smelling their smoke. Never let a door close behind you if you aren't positive it's unlocked and be especially careful if the door is one that has spring tension that will shut after you pass through it. This mostly applies to the more industrial locations (rooftops too!). For really large or labyrinthine locations, I keep chalk in my bag in case I need to leave "breadcrumbs" to find my way back out without leaving permanent marks. |
