The worst pizzeria I've ever been to did not seem like anyone was trying to make the place look like a functioning business. It opened in a particular neighborhood about two days before that neighborhood got hit by a wave of burglaries. These burglaries were different than the neighborhood had previously experienced. There was no property damage, not even any scratches around the lock suggesting someone had tried picking them ineptly. These burglars never struck while people were home. They did occasionally leave prints. Eventually they caught "the guy", who turned out to be the delivery guy for the really bad pizza place. Everybody was shocked, as nobody had realized they even *had* any delivery business. The place closed as a result of the bad publicity around one of their people being implicated. It opened a few months later as a locksmith shop. My father suggested that was a much better front, especially since it turned out to be the same people running the place, but this time, none of their customers got robbed - even their prices were fairly reasonable considering the quality of their products. They did admittedly seem a bit too familiar with the exact ways that the locks in the neighborhood were useless. Also, it was kind of odd, but they didn't mark their prices on anything. You told them what you wanted secured, they looked it over, and gave cost estimates. That said, the most affluent part of town started getting hit by a crime wave much like the earlier crime wave. Except this time they never left prints.

I think I left the point out of all that. A front doesn't necessarily need to look like a legitimate business. It does, however, help to have it look like one.
