yeah Minnie, I hear their first class will be on security systems, and you can be their first customer!

If this wasn't an inside job, these were very sophisticated burglers. Like you see in the movies. Alarm code, 2 locked doors no forced entry and 2 safes opened. If it WAS an inside job, the list of people privy to all those codes combinations and keys has got to be very small. That means they can't spend the money on anything big for a long time.

Minnie,
One would think that the security codes would be different from store to store - even if the security system had been installed by the same provider.

I can't believe the company monitoring the store didn't have police check it out at that hour.

Minnie, I took a "for her" class at a Home Depot in NYC, it was a joke, really really bad, but you do get a 10% off coupon so there is an upside.

It could also be an employee from another Home Depot store who is familiar with the safe/security system they use for their stores.

I can't wait for the new store to open up by us.... I think it's suppose to be after the holidays. I want to take some do it yourself classes and build me a castle!

Jersey City Home Depot 'Inside job' nets burglar $31,000

Police are taking a long look at current and recent employees of the Jersey City Home Depot after an "inside job" burglary yesterday netted $31,000, authorities said.

The manager of the store, on Route 440 north of Kellogg Street, called police yesterday morning to say the business had been robbed overnight.

Authorities believe the robbery happened just after midnight yesterday, and began when someone smashed a glass panel on a rear door, then reached in and pushed open the emergency door lock.

The burglar then used the alarm code to turn off the building's security system, and went through three locked doors -- re quiring two separate keys -- to enter the store's accounting office. There were no signs of forced entry, police said.

Once inside the office, the burglar somehow opened the two safes -- containing a total of $31,000 -- and then fled. The store's bookkeeper called police after going into the office after 8 a.m. yesterday, police said.

Jersey City Police Director Sam Jefferson said the department's Major Case Squad and South District detectives are investigating the burglary, and will interview "everyone who would have had access."
