Home invasions are seldom random. The perpetrators usually know what's in that particular home or business. Usually it's cash, sometimes drugs. The same goes for burglaries which 90% are carried out by someone who is familiar with their target. It's a good idea to not share what you have with people around you.

True Alicarn, but still dangerous. Especially when the perps jot down the wrong address! It could have easily turned deadly once they realized what went wrong. If you live on a street that isnt a thru-way I'd suggest writing down the plate of out of place cars. If nothing comes of it, so what? Throw it out.

This was no burglary, They were looking for someone that used to live there.
