In "Nobody's Business," the Beagle Boys take an unexpected turn from crime to commerce, leveraging their expertise in breaking in to launch a line of burglar alarms—because, as they point out, who knows security better than thieves? With homes eerily unguarded and citizens stashing valuables elsewhere, the crooks see a chance to go straight, even if their marketing strategy involves breaking in for show. Written by Mike Sharland, Jack Sutter, and Byron Erickson, with art by Daniel Branca and colors by Susan Daigle, this 1987 issue from Gladstone features a clever twist on the classic heist formula, all capped by a striking cover by Daan Jippes.

In "An Honest Mistake," the Beagle Boys, convinced that homes are wide open for the taking, find themselves out of luck—no valuables to steal, just unlocked windows and no alarms. Realizing the public’s security habits have changed, they pivot: why not sell alarms when they know exactly how to beat them? With a crooked twist on entrepreneurship, they launch their own alarm line, hoping to profit from their own expertise. But selling security to people who don’t have anything worth stealing proves trickier than breaking in.
