I chose some guy with around 8 grand and a painting and started scouting him
Let me know if you enjoy the thieving life.
If you are doing suicide scouting, why not scout everyone in the neighborhood? You'll have downtime between visits to each house anyway and it'll up your chances and improve your skills faster. And once all your targets are chilled, you can play around in self test figuring out what you mapped out in other peoples houses. And maybe improve your own house design (saved in castle draft for later).
Good Luck Banakai
]]>I did evaluate it at half price, and it was still alot more than the actual value of my house.
I don't like suicide scouting, because I only have 1 account and it will take my 5ever to scout out someone's house, and they will likely change it by then. I also think it is likely someone with 2 accounts robbed the second account to get money to rob my house.
Well, if a person to chooses to spend their wealth on wrecking you, there's not much you can do about it besides make them spend more than they wanted to with your design.
You'd be surprised at the amount of houses that don't change when you scout. And you don't need 2 accounts to suicide scout. If you had a larger starting capital, you could make it harder for the same robber to break your house. But you can only do that if you put time and effort into robbing. Have you tried it at all? You may find it rewarding in terms of discovery and knowledge. Plus you don't have to worry about losing a house until you make that big score.
If you are afraid of scouting houses that may change, don't forget there are also broken houses out there that won't change, which still gather money for those who have taken the time to map it out. You can have these mapped out during your suicide lives before you start on a house. It will provide an alternate source of income if you can notice the increases in value.
If you really must build a house on the starting $2k and don't want to go robbing at all, then I would suggest a dog wife shotgun pincer trap and a vigilant watch. They can net some decent bounties but are easily cracked with a gun when discovered. So you have to be there when your house value jumps.

]]>Don't forget to valuate the cost of the tools at half the value. He could have been using harvested tools which he has collected from robbers. At that point he might break even.
And really, saws, meat and water are harvested so easily that they aren't worth as much, and it would be worth the entertainment.
I really suggest that when you start a fresh life, that you use it to suicide scout and eventually rob a house which will give you enough money to build a stronger house with at least $3-4k leftover (to entice other robbers).
There are a couple guides in my signature, and I highly recommend that you go through the robbery one first.
]]>This guy was the only guy who had brought tools in my house
]]>1) Boredom. There are not many houses left to rob, especially not ones you can break with even $4,000 in tools. Robbing is a fun part of the game, so this guy paid more that it was worth so he could have the fun of robbing.
2) You got to $16k overnight - it's possible that somebody dumped that money in your house with a view to coming to collect it with an alt account, but then got mad when you spent it. Were any of your initial overnight robbers loaded to the gills with tools that they left in your house? Or any huge bounties?
]]>Why rob me? It was a major loss on your side. I didn't do anything did I? Why waste thousands of dollars in tools? If you want to take someone out just to make them mad, why not take someone out who has an unfair combo lock or something? I had a puzzle!
