New Reality TV Show Lets Homeowners Test Their Security
SILVER SPRING, Md.
A new reality television show gives residents a chance to see how vulnerable they are to burglaries by having two ex-convicts deliberately break into their home. “It Takes a Thief” features a home burglary that is taped as it happens, then offers a lesson in what steps the homeowner needs to take to prevent a crime from taking place again.
The show will run weekly on the Discovery Channel at 10 p.m. ET/PT, followed by a repeat three hours later.
Reformed criminals Matt Johnston and Jon Douglas Rainey are the hosts of the show and perform the staged “crimes.”
At its Web site for the new show, the Discovery Channel offers a free quiz and other tips on how residents can protect their homes.
