The local police department issued the following suggestions to concerned residents: While the resident of the house is distracted, an accomplice enters the home to steal valuables. These types of scams are known as "ruse entries" where criminals impersonate workers from gas, cable, electric, or tree companies they may also pose as employees from the local "Water Department" with the intent to gain access and burglarize your home. Even worse, however, one of the villains may have been armed and started shooting. Had he successfully struck one of them in the head outside the home, he could have left himself open to criminal charges for assault and even a civil suit later for damages from the culprit, or his family (if deceased).

Immediately doubts arose about the stranger's intentions as he ignored the fuse box repeatedly asked the couple to step closer to him. The obliging homeowners led the "worker" to the fuse box in their basement. Dan and Barbara Donovan answered the front doorbell to find a man wearing a reflective vest and carrying tools and asking to be allowed inside to check their "fuse box." The request sounded plausible as the homeowners received a letter from their electric company the day before informing them that workers would be in their area because of power outages.
