Our burglars stole a laptop. I told spouse not to leave the laptop out but they didn’t listen. Mine was not stolen bc it was hidden.

Yes, he was the reason you were robbed.

Your change jar is enough to see through a window. Same in car.

Be careful with large boxes/recycling. What folks see you bring into your house is a good indicator of what’s available to lift.

No one is stealing a vcr

A working VCR goes for big money on eBay.

You can't even give away china these days. No burglar is going to hit your china cabinet.

I wonder same thing…

The old image of robber dumping silver service ware into a sack is so antiquated.

Imagine today they go for information to be used later

When we were robbed about 7 years ago (they broke into our FCC house in broad daylight), they took only electronics and a coin collection. They clearly looked through everything.

The burglar(s) broke in through a back window and the police think they were efficient and were in and out in about 5 minutes.
They opened every drawer in the main bedroom and dug through the corners of the bedroom closets. The also pulled some drawers in the kitchen and living room where one might keep cash, etc. A policeman said they likely a group that was working our part of Bethesda. I think they later were caught.

We were lucky, nobody was home and we didn't have any guns, drugs or nice booze. The car was not at the house. We lost about $30 in cash and my wife's $600 earrings.
It was a real mess and my spouse and kids were upset for quite a while.

My colleague was robbed recently and they stole his social security card and birth certificate. Didn't touch other valuables that were visible.

Guns. They are the most valuable thing in your home to criminals.
