Excerpt from Daily Mail article "The Burglars' Code: Criminals chalk messages which pinpoint targets for other villains", 2 Dec 2009
Burglars are scribbling chalk marks outside homes to let fellow criminals know which properties to target.
The symbols - dubbed 'the Da Pinchi Code' - may indicate that a home is wealthy, has already been burgled or may have nothing worth stealing.
Police have revealed the signs are being drawn outside sprawling homes in advance of them being targeted by criminal gangs. Detectives released information on the plot yesterday after a number of properties across the affluent Tandridge district in Surrey were targeted in recent weeks.
