[quote=Anonymous]In my unfortunate experience, they were after jewelry and prescription drugs. If we'd had firearms in the house I'm sure they would have taken those too.

We actually didn't have any prescription drugs, but they tore every bathroom apart looking for some. Cops told us later that's extremely common and one of the most-stolen items.

Jewelry, they obviously didn't know what they were looking at - just grabbed whatever they saw. They took some cheap bead necklaces in addition to the more valuable stuff.

They didn't bother with electronics (tablets and laptops were sitting right out in plain site, one tablet was even sitting on the night stand next to the jewelry and they ignored it) - apparently electronics are too trackable and hard to unload now, and aren't worth enough in resale to be worth the effort of wiping them clean. Also didn't bother with anything bigger than could fit in one hand - artwork, TV, appliances etc were left entirely alone. We know from exterior cameras that they were in the house for less than 10 minutes - tore through the bathrooms, grabbed the jewelry from the master bedroom, and got out. I don't think they even went into the office or other bedrooms. [/quote]
