Yep. It's a trend. Another trend is for drug thieves to get (generally available) details of a funeral. They pick cancer victims a lot. Then, when everybody is at the funeral, they go to the home of the deceased and steal all the leftover pain meds, and other items. I've house sat for neighbors before while they attended the funeral.

I've got a buddy here at work and he told me about a theft just across the road from him. He lives in a slightly rural area. He said that his neighbor (across the road) had a large gunsafe. The house was a pre-fab. From the police report, it "seems" that the thieves knew where the safe was. They backed up into the yard with a dual axle pickup, broke the door down, and punched two holes in the exterior wall on both sides of the safe. Then they fed a chain through the holes, around the safe and onto the hitch on the back of the truck. Then they drove forward and pulled the safe right off the floor (it WAS bolted - the bolts broke) and THROUGH the wall. They (probably) winched it into the back of the truck before driving away. He said it was one of the craziest things he's seen in a long time....left one BIG mess!

Those are rally low life bath-turds that don’t deserve to breath air.

I remember years ago when my older siblings were married that we got a neighbor kid to house-sit for the wedding day. (Lots of presents in the house for my sisters as well!).

Although looking back, getting some 13 year old to watch the house? “Here’s the phone kid. Dial 911 in case any robbers break into the house!”
