Creeps rummage through clothes and underwear during home inspections.

Bogus home buyers are stealing cash, coins, jewellery, alcohol and even toiletries during open for home inspections. Distraught home owners have also reported creeps rummaging through their clothes and underwear after throwing open their doors to the public. Real estate agents and authorities say complaints of theft and property damage are extremely rare. Buyers' advocate and former real estate agent David Morrell claimed problems were more widespread than the industry let on."They've been cases of jewellery, aftershave, even a shaver going missing," Mr Morrell said."At the top end of the market there are expressions of interest and inspections by appointment so that buyers are personally escorted through every room. "CAV advises vendors to lock away valuables and discuss security arrangements before inspections. We advise you to never open your home for public viewing.
