The idea that these are random events is questionable. There could be a squatter's network - that lets certain criminal types know which houses are empty.

Sounds like an organized entity.

RICO - Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations

Examples of crimes that may be alleged to be part of a pattern of racketeering activity include:

Organized, coordinated, and repeated or regular theft operations, including: pickpocketing, burglary, smash and grab, home invasion...

If authorities wanted to deal with this.....they would. But it's more lucrative to scare the crap out of homeowners, and sell products that "protect" home titles. The ones with commercials at three in the morning.

Yes, how did the squatters know the house was unoccupied?..........................
