MADELEINE McCann’s abductors may have daubed coded messages on the outside walls of the family’s holiday apartment to indicate when she was alone.
Police in Portugal’s Algarve recently discovered arrows or circles are being used by criminals to signal a chance to break into homes.
A horizontal arrow means property is easy to get into during the afternoon. Semi-circles underneath a line indicate a child is alone in the evening.
The signs, believed to originate with Brazilian crime gangs, have been found on or near properties across the popular holiday region.
Madeleine McCann was three when she vanished in Praia da Luz four years ago as parents Kate and Gerry dined nearby. Police suspect the apartment may have been staked out for days.
And witnesses saw a man watching it in the week before Madeleine’s disappearance in May 2007.
Dave Edgar, a former detective now investigating the case for the McCanns, has said: “Someone just doesn’t go in, a passer-by, and pick up a child and take it.
“These things are planned. They may even have been watching the apartment for a week or more.”
Police in Portugal hope publicising details of the codes may help prevent crime in the region.
A police spokesman said: “The signs indicate to other burglars how easy the property is to break into, as well as indicating when the house is empty or more likely to be empty, if there are elderly people or children alone in the house, among others.”
And he warned residents: “If you see any of these signs around your house, you should remove them immediately and contact your local police.”
Clarence Mitchell, spokesman for the McCanns, said anything the police were doing to raise awareness of possible crimes in the area was welcomed.
Sales from Kate McCann’s book Madeleine, released in May, are believed to have now passed 200,000.
And Kate, 44, and Gerry, 43, from Rothley, Leicestershire, hope new information on their daughter’s case will emerge.
A Metropolitan Police team of detectives is reviewing the evidence in her case to see if any clues have been missed.

Beware of burglars’ signs
Updated: 30-Jul-2009
Several notices have been put up around the Caramujeira and Porches areas of Lagoa advising residents to beware of signs painted on their homes or garden walls, which are alleged to be a code to and from burglars about the movements of the property’s occupants.
According to the notices, the various signs such as an arrow pointing upwards means that a house is easy to burgle in the morning, while an upside down arrow means that it is easy to burgle in the afternoon.
A GNR spokesman told the Algarve Resident: “These notices are not official and have not been put up by the authorities. They are emails that are sent around and around. I myself have received one. They cause some panic among the population and every so often people will print them and stick them up in public places.”
The spokesman added: “Residents are advised in any case to remove any strange signs that they see on their homes as a precaution.”

Can anyone please explain why certain elements are pretending that this story was made up?
It wasn't; the practise has been known about for some time.
Oh, and if they ever bothered to read the Portuguese press, they would know that Brazilian and Portuguese crime syndicates are joined at the hip, due to the shared language and heritage.

GNR police have launched an initiative to raise awareness among property owners about how they can prevent burglaries.
A leaflet in English detailing advice for residents on how to best secure their homes has been made available in Silves and Loulé areas with further municipalities expected to follow suit, according to the GNR.
The new awareness campaign is part of the Residência Segura (Secure Residence) programme, which began in 2010 following several violent burglaries in remote areas in the Loulé and Portimão councils.
The programme was created in response to the needs of the community, particularly foreign residents living in isolated locations.
A spokesman from the GNR told the Algarve Resident: “We are distributing leaflets in Portuguese and English with advice for property owners on how to best prevent possible burglaries.”
In these leaflets, the GNR recommend that residents keep all doors closed, particularly at night, turn on various lights, have emergency numbers at hand and, when vacating the house for several days, to always inform their neighbours and local GNR.
“Also, if someone knocks on your door at night, do not open it immediately and always ask the person to identify himself or herself and if strange noises are heard outside the house, alert the police immediately,” said the GNR spokesman.
“The procedures of this security programme include the geo-referencing of all isolated houses for better proximity patrolling, enabled by GPS equipment.”
São Brás de Alportel resident Helga Hampton has praised this initiative. She told the Algarve Resident: “The police have put the citizen at the centre of attention. In conjunction with our own house number, the GNR collates a complete area list of corresponding villa owners’ names, information about periods of absence from the property, and name and telephone number of maids and gardeners who have access to the property.”

Related or not with the abduction in Praia da Luz, this is my opinion:
instead of wasting precious time with the arguido status about innocents, this should have been done while the clues were fresh, but, we all know who was the true responsible for all the mess: a certain sacked person, who told that abductions never happened (but they do happen), such thought only in amaral´s sick brain
