Regarding burglaries, it's true that MOST occur between 10AM-4:00PM....the perp "knows" that if the house will be vacant, it will most likely be between those hours (in SCA).
The perp also "knows" that by 4:00 PM most of the residents are home.
One of the most effective deterrents is a dog in the house (and not necessarily a big 'Cujo-like' dog; the minute they hear barking they're off to another house (because they don't want to deal with a dog - regardless of how big it is).
Right or wrong, SCA has a reputation for being a "Wealthy Place" and we get robbed for the same reason given by the infamous bank robber Willy Sutton.
When asked why he robbed banks he answered "because that's where the money is"
