It didn’t garner this level of attention because it wasn’t publicized on SM. Also happened to the house across the street from me. And we were burglarized as well. It happens more than you realize. People don’t generally talk about it.

Or a home is particularly targeted after being cased or because they know the owner. Or occasionally they are just High out of their mind.
I wonder if it will turn out that the owner knows these guys somehow — certainly doesn’t seem like a crime of opportunity.

This knee jerk reaction, regardless of the facts is very tiresome. Yes, easy and basic precautions can help avoid these outcomes. It did not in this case and we should not have to live constantly on guard.
