LYNNWOOD - If at first you don't succeed, maybe try another method? A suspected teenage crook has found out the hard way -- twice -- that it's not the best idea to try and break into homes via a doggie door. "I heard the latch on my gate open and the next thing I knew, he's got his arm in the dog door," said Lynnwood homeowner, Arlene Bower. Police say in the most recent attempted burglary, the 17-year-old boy rang the doorbell first. But Bower never answers the door if she's not expecting someone. So the teen went around back. Bower says she watched the teen as he tried everything to get in through the small dog door and reach the lock. By then, she'd called 911. "I've lived here for more than 40 years and I've never had anything like that happen," Bower said. "I was shaking." Police caught the teen with his hand still inside the dog door. Investigators say burglars don't usually try to get in through a dog door because it usually implies there's a dog. "People are generally deterred by animals, like barking and dog doors, because even an alarm system isn't going to bite you," said Snohomish County Sheriff's Deputy Rich Niebusch. Five months ago, police busted the same teen trying to break in through a dog door near Martha Lake. That time, a neighbor was watching and called 911. When deputies arrived, he tried to escape. He was chased down and caught by none other than a police dog. The teen has been booked into the juvenile detention center in Everett
