"..... a rise in home break-ins as the pandemic got into full swing, along with another disturbing pattern:more burglaries happening in the early morning, when people were home asleep."
and
"....The timing of these crimes concerns police, in part because it could lead to confrontations between perpetrators and residents."
IMO, if someone breaks into my place when they know good & well someone's there, then that tells me they don't worry about being ID'd because they don't plan on leaving any witnesses. Therefore, I'll do what it takes to protect my home and family...I say drop a couple of these scumbags like hot rocks so the coroner can take them away in a body bag and see if the trend continues.....but maybe that's just me.
