I nose around neighborhoods where people don’t seem to know each other very well. That way, I won’t be noticed. Next, I try to find a house where the people are on holiday and not likely to return soon. I do this by looking for houses with no lights on in the evening. Then I look at the doorways. They’re a sure giveaway (暴露). When newspapers, mail, and deliveries are piled up, I can tell that people have been away from days. I can even count how many days from the number of newspapers. Reporter: How do you break into a house? Fingers: Well, usually it’s easy and effortless. Lots of times people leave a window open, or doors and windows unlocked. Then I just slip in, when I have to break in, I look for a patio (露台) door on the first floor. They usually have weak locks and you can force them easily. I watch out for dogs, though. If I hear a dog barking, I will go somewhere else. 1. How long will Sticky Fingers spend in prison?_____________________________________ 2.
