Default Burglar alarms and stable doors again

Most break ins these days seem to be for car keys. A worrying trend is that some come "tooled up" and masked ready to threaten occupants as it seems to be the quickest way to find the keys and get out quick.


That may or may not be what burglars _want_ but it's not what actually
gets taken most often in burglaries. The ONS publishes the stats every
year following the Crime Survey in E&W. For 2016-17 after
cash/cards/wallets etc and jewellery/watches it was computers (including
laptops and tablets), mobiles, electrical goods (eg TVs, games consoles)
and cameras.
