First I want to say that I was on the audition for this Discovery Channels "It Takes a Thief" with the two guys that are on the show now. This is supposed to be a reality TV show. Well let me enlighten you all. These two guys are as phoney as 20.00 Rolex watches. I spoke with them at length during the taping. They both had no experience at burglary. Nor were they ever in prison. One was a private. directive that quit his job because he got beat up by a girl boyfriend. The other I don't remember, but what I do remember them saying is that they both didn't know how the hell they've gotten this far in the audition. I was hired by Discovery Channel and Lions and fired because I had an open case of a disorderly conduct and assault charge involving protecting my mom. They knew this, I proved it to them from transcripts. Discovery's answer to that was. Lets higher these to and deceive the public, the audience never knows. I have proof, contracts, e-mails and everything. They even took my ideas that I used during the taping of the treatment. Am I upset? Hell yea. Discovery was looking for someone with prior arrests for burglary. Well it's been over 15 yrs for me. Just so happens I had to protect my moms integrity. But what I'm saying is that Discovery Channel is making money from the public with their lies and deceptions in portraying these guys as something that they are really far from, BURGLARS. There's more reality in watching to turtles fighting. Shame on you Discovery Channel for deception just because of money. Your show is as phoney as they are

Allstate doesn't have a corner on the "Don't be a fool, lock your door" tips market. 99% of the stuff on the show is completely generic, and could have been sponsored by Master Lock or Sears without changing a single thing on the show.
I do have to wonder whether the show will return for another season. I've looked around on the net and haven't found anything definite either way. And if past attempts are any indication, we certainly can't expect that Discovery will put out some realistically priced DVD's for us (e.g., they sell most of material from Myth Busters at $20+ for a single episode... who's their target market, Bill Gates stuck on an island with no cable?).

I just washed a couple of utubes with these guys on Heraldo of Fox news. Dont they check if these guys are the real thing before they put them on the show? Heraldo depicted them as ex cons, hardened criminals who changed there ways. Man, you can even believe the news anymore. I'm going to see if I can selll Heraldo a 20 dollar rolex for 3k. Wanna bet he'll take it?

Please tell me where to get the film to stop glass shattering. I am buying a 1650 sq ft Craftsman home with single pane windows. I also need the information about safe storm windows for added protection.
I watch the show whenever I can. I have lost nearly everything of value in three break ins. I don't want to lose what I now have. They have great information; I just wish I could find affordable products like they talk about for the people on tv.
