9/10 burglaries I see on the news are in the shittiest neighborhoods where the homes/apartments are crap and there can't be much of value inside. Is there a thought process in this or are they just stupid? Your assumption is wrong. That may be your perception, but it is not an accurate reflection of reality. |

Because if there's a piece of shit walking down a nice street, I know ten people already phoned the Sheriff. Also, they know the people making them easy targets to observe and steal from.

There is a lot more of value in there than you might suspect. I worked the ambulance in the not so nice parts of town.
They might be "poor" but they have nicer vehicles, bigger TVs and newer phones and other gizmos than many of the honest hardworking people right here on this website. To say nothing of the potential score of.... contraband would be appropriate but misleading. They do it for that, too. |

We have burglary rings pop up now and then where there are multiple burgles in middle class neighborhoods. Criminals go for easy pickin's. |

Trashy people have trashy friends. So they know what's in the house befor robbing. Say there "friends" are at the bar because they go every Friday they know the house is empty. Easy to rob when know they are not there and they close the bar every Friday.

If they made the 20 mile journey from the city to come here, they'd have to pass the guardhouse, two gates, and then there would be several people spotting them saying, "Who the fuck is that, and what the fuck are they doing here?" A quick call to the guardhouse would get them intercepted in minutes, and they'd be held for police as appropriate. There are also the cameras, the alarm systems, and the firepower.
When we have construction crews about, the contractor is required to put up the cash to pay for someone to keep an eye on the workers whenever they're here. Expensive? Yep. Effective? So far. |

Reminds me of another thread today.
Hood rats live in the hood. Hood rats do hood rat shit. Hood rats are going to do their hood rat shit where they can, which is more often than not in the hood. Hood rats typically don't live in nice areas. If you think that there are unlikely to be valuables in the hood rat nest, you are very wrong. They have nice TV's, the lastest gaming consoles (I see far more PS4's in the hood than wealthy neighborhoods), they have nicer stereos, nicer collectible shoes, and all kinds of nice stuff. The stereotype of a welfare recipient with a five grand TV set inside of a $2500 single wide exists for a reason. |

He said he couldn't let his friends come into his home; he had to talk to them on the front porch. If he let his friends come in and see his TV and VCR (this was early 2000's), they'd come back the next day when he was at work and steal it. He had to bring things into his home at night to make sure others didn't see him. Living in the ghetto and having a job sucks pretty hard, apparently. |

We live about 30 min from the rougher sides of the Greater Cleveland Metro area. There are virtually no break-ins here. No violent crimes. It's nice, it's mayberry. It's not upper-class by any means, solid, middle class and retirees. We may not have nice new TVs or consoles, but one thing that I do see a lot are NRA stickers.

I'm sure that it's much worse than you describe OP. Mainly because a whole hell
of a lot of the victims (Poor folks who's places are robbed/broken into) are in a sub-set of the population that may not involve authorities (Section 8/"Project" residents) when they realize that they've been hit. The higher profile(Stranger-On-Stranger) robberies get the media attention but most of the youngsters I work with in Mental-Health had THRIVING "careers" robbing friends and family for years and only came to our attention (These things are generally handled at the personal level) when someone ended-up in the ER. Most of our youngsters are drug seekers and would steal the neighbor's 30yr old tube tv if they thought that they could get $10 for it at the local cash-house/pawn shop.... It "seems" that 99% of the time the victims KNOW VERY WELL who it was that robbed them and ass beatings/stabbings/shootings get picked (As the solution in those populations) WAAAY before registering a complaint with the man is. |

A good chunk of burglaries are done by dipshit teenagers so it has to be in walking distance for them. Heck a big chunk of the time its them breaking into their neighbors place since they know their schedules. Then you have tweekers who also don't have shit because it all goes into drugs so walking distance usually for them too. The ones who travel a bit are usually more professional and take a lot longer to track down.
Funniest one I remember when I worked for a police department. Dipshit was breaking into houses and stealing shit had his stolen white van full of his loot. Then dipshit gets drunk as hell and drives around in said van gets pulled over and bam a few weeks worth of break ins solved. |

I'm pretty sure most crime is committed against "friends" relatives, or associates on familiar terrain. Criminals are trying to not get caught, fear is the best deterrent. Criminals without fear don't last long.
