The question is, are these targeted or random?
If targeted, is it drug related, or some expectation of grabbing other known assets?

Drugs are illegal. But someone else breaking into your house to kill you so they can steal your drugs is still a crime.
Killing someone who wants to hurt you so they can steal from you is worthy of them getting shot, drugs or the family jewels, makes no difference IMO.
Cute, but not informative.
My question was, it there a pattern for the motivation?
Random theft is not a useful indicator.
Other motives could be.
