| "pfjw@aol.com" <pfjw@aol.com>: Nov 20 07:08AM -0800 Valid quibbles. However, the reality is that only about 1/3 of burglaries are reported. And the 'solves' tend to be in groups. So, if a professional burgles one house per week (likely far less than that in reality), and the overall success rate is 91%, 0.91 x 300 = 5.25 years before he will get caught - purely based on statistics. Somewhat longer in London. 40% of burglaries are committed by "friends", family or acquaintances. Point is that the average burglar is a pro, does extensive research ahead of the act, and is absolutely not looking for trouble. They don't walk into a neighborhood, pick a house at random and have-at. They will not be surprised by lights, bells, whistles, or much of anything else. They will be in and out of a house in less than 3 minutes, on average. They will emulate something that puts the average indifferent neighbor at ease - such as a reflective jumpsuit and clipboard. There was a robbery on the Main Line some time ago, where the team of burglars came in broad daylight, and while one group started to power-wash the house, the other group went inside and pretty much cleaned it out. They even put a "Power Washing Professionals" sign up at the curb. Another, two jumpsuited individuals went into the house with bright orange barrels with HazMat markings - and took out the goods inside the barrels. Neither teams were caught - except on cameras. No faces. Go figure. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |
