The ladder was well hidden behind large trees so it’s possible if you didn’t peek around the trees you wouldn’t see the ladder.

when you’re trying to get to the roof without breaking your neck, you don’t overlook something like this. The cop who peeked over the roofline, then ducked, fell 8 feet. People die from concussion just falling from a standing position. Just ask Liam Neeson, whose wife died from that.

Apart from avoiding death from a fall, the other reason a pre-existing ladder would have been found is tactical. A ladder gives you a hand free to be able to level a pistol at whomever is on the roof. Having to grab onto the edge of the roof with both hands from being boosted leaves you as vulnerable as a newborn babe.

The 10’ step ladder belonged to the police.
Crooks’ 5’ ladder was atop the a/c unit on the next building over.
There’s a clear photo of both in place floating around.
