You can't fool me, I'm on to it. The swindle is a classic. It's the art of making people believe what you want them to believe. Like, for example, convincing your roommate that the fire in the kitchen was just a "small accident".
Here's a breakdown:
-

- Burn some things that are easy to clean up.
- Make sure it's not during rush hour or prime time.
-
Act innocent.
- Look worried and concerned.
- Make sure your eyes are wide and expressive.
-
ประก Blame someone else.
