Breaking into Buildings Under Construction

Breaking into Buildings Under Construction

by darkrob

Half finished buildings can be alot of fun to mess around in at night. There is a boatload of construction tools to take, tons of places to explore, and alot of great opportunities to create mischiff. Since the building is unfinished, security systems, hell even door locks may have not been added yet. So getting in is as easy as opening a door (or walking through the doorway if there isnt even a door yet lol).

Since I am someone who wont write an article about something I have never done (I hate those poser faggots), I will detail my experiences and let you build off them. A quick background - My friend moved to a new house in the suburbs, and nearby him was a building in the beginning stages of being built. It had no security to begin with...but after we went there multiple times (stupid..stupid..stupid...) they hired a security guard, and we bearly got away after running our asses off. (Ironically, the place became a home security center when it was finished LOL) Anyway, myself, and two friends were the ones who broke in and entered.

So anyway, you first gotta find a building under construction. The bigger and more complex, the better. Be sure it isnt so big that there would be 24 hour survellance teams guarding it. Durring dusk, after the workers leave, go scout the place. Try to be inconspicuous (dont attract attention). Figure out some escape routes, try to find some good hiding places. When your done with that, go home and prepare. How much theivery, mischiff, and distruction you are going todo should tell you how hardcore you should go when it comes to wearing sneaking suits and bringing nightvision. A quick rule of thumb, if you are planning on alot of illegal shit and destruction, wear gloves. If you are just gonna break in and sneak around, dont be a pussy, they wont fingerprint the area because they saw one footstep in the mud.

The difficulty in getting into the building will be dependant on how far completed in its construction it is. When my bros and I first went to our building, it's windows were completed, but the doors werent there, so walking in was a sinch. But it might not be as easy for you. If the doors are in place and locked, dont try to open them, as they might have a security system hooked up to them. If you try opening them, open it and ditch for cover for 10 mintues. If no security guy comes to check it out, you are in the clear. You could also try circleing the building, look for a blown window or a uncompleted wall. If there is a quick way onto the roof, there might be a hole for the unfinished ventilation duct that leads to the interior of the building. Be creative, its no fun standing around outside when all the fun is inside.

Now that your in, dont go rushing into a thieving/tagging/destruction frenzy. Search the place head and toe for a securty guard, cameras, etc. Make new escape routes (as your original ones you made might not be applicable if you had jumped in from the roof). Depending on your situation, and how close to the road/other buildings/other houses you are, try to keep the noise to a minimum, so you dont get caught. Once you are absolutely sure that noone is around, you are in the clear! Now its time for the fun stuff. I made a small list of potential fun things todo, but it is all dependant on how much noise you think you can make and whatnot. A good rule is if you are afraid todo it, dont do it. (or tell your inhabitions to go fuck themselves and do it anyway!) \m/

1] Find those huge wooden wire holder things (the ones that hobos use for tables). Unravell the wire and jump on and pretend you are a unicyclist by walking on it, making it spin. Smaller ones are manuverable! Have battles with friends. 2] Take those same wire things and roll them as fast as you can into stuff, and see how much destuction you can make. 3] Looking for your dad's next birthday present? A 'free' industrial strength chainsaw or socket rench set you found here would be great. You could alternatively sell the shit you find on ebay for a 100% profit. Of course stealing stuff depends on if you brought a backpack or something to put it in... 4] Play games! Hide and seek is fun. So is tag. If you are a nerd like my friends and I, you can bring lazertag equipment and have a lazergun battle. Very fun! 5] Take dumps in the middle of the floor. Smear the workman's renches and other tools in your own shit. 6] Window glass just sitting there waiting to be put up into a window cill? Have a contest to see who can throw their window glass the farthest. You automatically win if yours doesnt break. 7] Find a can of spraypaint (usually somewhere in a constuction yard) and start tagging random walls. If you know lots of mexicans work construction in your area, write up some funny dirty mexican jokes. Or you could draw lots of cocks all over the walls. Thats always a hoot. 8] Have a forklift destruction derby! Find 3 forklifts and duke it out! Or instead of smashing into eachother, smash into everything around you. Whoever does the coolest destruction wins. Personal experience talking, this is fucking fun! 9] Sabatoge the forklifts and other big power equipment. I never did this, but I am sure it could be done. (drain the gas tanks? break the fuel lines? hell I dunno...)

I have only hinted at what you and a few friends could do in a partially constructed building. Honestly, the possibilities are endless. Let your imagination rule you. Just keep common sense back there in case trouble arises. (cops...security...etc) Also, I know you dont wanna hear this, but be careful. There are usually wires and shit everywhere, and cutting yourself is easy. I still have a huge scar in my leg from where a wire came came out of nowhere. Instantly, we went from having fun, into panick mode cause of having to clean up all my blood all over the floor. (we had done 1000s of bucks of damage...they might have been anal enough to do a blood DNA sample thing...)

Oh, and dont be stupid dumbasses like me and my friends, and keep going back to the same place. Only go to a building once. When they notice stuff gone, tons of destruction, and shit on the walls, they WILL hire a security guard. I know that firsthand. <_<' ALWAYS be ready to ditch and escape. If that happens, split up. A lonely fat security guard can only chase one of you at a time then. (and even then, he will probly just point his flashlight at you and scream, and then call the cops). What you need to be worried about is security cameras. But in my experience, that seems to be one of the last things they set up durring the construction phase of a building...so you most likely wont have to worry about it.

Well this is the end. Hope you have as much fun in an underconstructed building as me and my friends did!! Be safe, dont get caught, and have a fucking blast!!
