Shoes at the door can avoid "rushing through" patronage.

Mr. Chen's answer is very positive. He said that this move was inspired by the empty city plan in the romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Mr. Chen, who lives in Luen Fung District, said he thought of this method at the beginning of 2004.

"One evening when I came home from work, my neighbor upstairs said that I had been burglar in the daytime.

We are all office workers in this corridor, so the biggest worry is white thieves.

Mr. Chen said he liked watching the romance of the Three Kingdoms, and inspired by Zhu Geliang's empty city plan, he figured out this way to bluff thieves.

Mr. Chen put two pairs of shoes at the door. If the thief came to the door, he would think someone was in the house.

However, Mr. Chen said that there are several points to pay attention to when putting shoes on the doorway. First, no slippers are allowed, because some people like to buy things downstairs for convenience. They like to put double slippers in the doorway for a long time.

Two, shoes should not be too broken or dirty. Otherwise, thieves will think that these shoes are the owners not to throw them at the door.

The three is that the shoes are messed up, causing the thief to feel the feeling of just having guests to take off their shoes at the door.

Of course, these shoes should not be too advanced, otherwise they will be worthless if they are stolen by thieves.

Mr. Chen said that a pair of shoes can be effective, but two pairs are better, preferably a pair of women's shoes and a pair of men's shoes.

In addition, shoes with shoelaces can untie shoelaces. In short, the key is to do everything possible to create a false impression of having guests coming to the door and taking off their shoes.

Mr. Chen is very confident in his own move because it has been tested by practice.

Mr. Chen's many friends and relatives learned this, including his cousin in Shanghai.

In May 2006, his cousin's house met with a white thief. His cousin lived on the 4 floor. As a result, 4 houses on the 5 floor and 6 floors were stolen. His cousin's family, the next door neighbors and the families of the lower floors were all fine.

A few days later, the white thief was caught. He told the police that he had seen two pairs of shoes at the door of his cousin's house. He thought he had guests at home, so he did not dare to steal from the 1 floor to the 4 floor.
