- I don't do it for the money.

For the adrenalin, and because,

like you, I'm interested in people.

Yeah, you can tell a lot

about people from their stuff.

- How old would you say

these people are?

- Don't know.

You can tell a lot from the futon

for a start. Young people have futons.

These people wouldn't be

anywhere near 40 with a futon.

And they've got one laundry bag,

which means they're probably

very used to each other.

Probably about 25 or over.

They could be 20, and they've

been living together for years.

Nah. Look at the books.

They're college educated.

Probably graduated

when they were 21 or 22.

Moved in together

in the last year.

You can tell more

from their music.

And here is the box.

- What box?

- Everyone has a box.

- But mainly it's just a shoe box.

- Is there valuables in it?

No, more interesting.

More personal things like snapshots,

letters, little trinkets

from Christmas.

See?

Envelope, photo,

calling cards, notes.

Sort of an unconscious

collection, a display.

- What do you mean, "display?"

- Well, display.

Each thing tells something

very intimate about the people.

We're very privileged to see it.

It's very rare.

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

What--

What the hell

did you do that for?

It's like a diary.

They hide it.

But actually they want someone

to see it. That's what I do.

See their display.

Flip sides of the same coin.

This way they know

that someone's seen it.

That's what it's all about--

interrupting someone's life,

making them see all the things

they took for granted.

Like when they go back and buy

all this stuff from the shelves

with the insurance money,

they'll have to think

for the first time in a long time...

why they wanted all this stuff,

what it's for.

You take it away,

and you show them what they had.

Saucy, eh?

Found these in the last flat.

I think I'lljust give them

something to, uh, chat about.

Why would you want

to do that?

She'll find them in his trousers

and ask him what he's been doing.

Yeah, but why would you

want to f*** up their relationship?

Don't you listen?

You take it away...

and show them what they had.

- Fancy a drink?

- You've gotta be joking.

Don't be fooled

by the supermarket label.

I seem to remember I've had this before,

and it was actually quite good.

You'd have had a bit of difficulty

doing this with your gloves on.

- So are we actually

gonna take anything?

- Anything your heart desires.

But that's not really the point,

is it? I mean, this is work.

I thought the whole point

of burglary was taking things.

No, this is the point-- breaking in,

entering someone's life,

- finding out who they really are.
