Not joking, if it was U.S. or Chinese spies? We wouldn't know they were there. -- nm - Bacon Dec 9, 19:27 9
- Well *I* thought it was a good idea -- nm - Nixon Dec 9, 23:03
- We might. Spies aren’t always as competent as you think (and not just the Russian ones) -- nm - Roger More Dec 9, 20:40 3
  - If you’re interested, check out this article about how the CIA’s poor communications system got its entire network of Chinese agents killed. -- (link) - Roger More Dec 9, 20:43 1
    - Thanks for the link -- nm - zork Dec 10, 05:12
  - Depends if they sent in the decoys or not. -- nm - Chevy Chase and Dan Akroid Dec 9, 20:42
- Are you suggesting they were Canadian spies? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 19:34 2
  - They would be in jail. -- nm - Bacon Dec 9, 19:35 1
    - Nah, they'd just be all like "Sorry" and "Won't happen again" and nothing would come of it. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 19:36
- yeah, I figure they wouldn't have stopped at 'attempted break-in'. CFO of a megacorp (and daughter of the founder) probs has really good security tho. -- nm - mafic Dec 9, 19:31
or opportunists who knew she wouldn't be home. could be either, really. -- nm - mafic Dec 9, 19:26 2
- That's been happening a lot here lately with professional athletes and entertainers. They're known to be playing out of town so....... -- nm - Meg Dec 9, 19:36 1
  - friends had their car and house broken into while they were at the movies. found their address from their car registration. -- nm - mafic Dec 9, 21:44
local news published the addresses of the family's two homes here, so some idiot thought .. - mud Dec 9, 19:21 1
- yeah, that globe article has two photos with clearly identifiable addresses. -- nm - mafic Dec 9, 19:30
That's just what THEY want you to think. - Beryllium Dec 9, 19:21
