Most burglaries are done during day time when people are at work. And a lot of them are targeted based on external factors like car decals and home accessories (signs, flags) that scream “GUN HERE!!”
I do have a home security system (currently a corpo cloud crap, trying to experiment with FOSS solutions) but it’s mainly because I’m not going to walk to me peep hole to check who’s ringing only to walk away because I don’t know them. I rather just check on my phone while in bed. There have been about 3 instances where guys were trying to scope out my place and even walked into my garage to look around. But no action was taken by either of us
Sometimes when I driving home at night I do get a bit paranoid when I see the same car on my tail the entire time, so I’ll take some detours to see what’s up. But that’s mainly because I’m more afraid of zionists and the feds and not some crip breaking into my home.
I do appreciate all my fascist neighbors who leave stickers on their car indicating that there are pooly secured firearms in their house. You know, just in case.
Most burglaries are committed on people known to have a lot of drugs in their houses. Drug dealers usually don't want to admit that to cops. The risk/reward is just not worth the venture otherwise. No one goes house yo house burglarizing like it's Home Alone. Most expensive shit people have in their homes are too heavy to haul out and jewelery isn't really a quick turnaround for cash to get a fix outside of very specific circumstances. People will totally break into your car, maybe your garage if it's really easy seeming but it's just not worth the risk to bust into some random house. I am friends with the exact people these guys wanna shoot and they have never even considered home invasion, cause it's stupid.
Idk dude good robbers can definitely haul out a lot of shit really quickly, would like to see a source on the drug thing. Most people that I've known that have been robbed lost shit like laptops/elecronics, work tools, cash and shit sometimes even furniture.
Like Ryan above said they're normally in broad daylight and most of the time neighbours etc don't even know it's happening or just think it's a family member or friend taking shit etc.
I wouldn't rule not family members or friends taking shit being the case but I was talking about how it is more locally than what others deal with. I'm in a season 2 of the wire kinda locale though, so robberies are generally targeted cause a neighborhood you could involve a car in conspicuously is too poor to hit at random or too nosey to not get caught.
where did you hear this?
From drug addicts, dealers and burglars.
