Phony Government Housing Rennovation Agent; Energy Savings Agent
Criminals pretend to be government officials who will help seniors with low cost home renovation or energy savings projects. They request entry into their homes to take necessary measurements. While measuring rooms and windows inside the home, they pocket valuable items or "case" the location for larger valuables (e.g., antique furniture) that can be stolen while the home owner is away.

Have seniors get a trusted relative or friend to be present when anyone requests to come look around in their homes. This will usually stop the crooks right in their tracks as they don't want too many people to see them doing their dirt!
