Financially successful burglars

      Criminals may prey on commercial property rather than private homes because the consequences are less severe. The criminal will be served less time in prison if they break into a commercial property the reason for the less sever consequence is that the burglar is not invading someone’s home. Home is where they are supposed to be safe and unwelcome strangers in a home is more frightening then burglary of a business. The steps for burglarys in commercial property is:

·         scoping out business before hand

·         planning

·         collecting inside information

·         lots of time put into the burglary

·         finding what you want

         Some burglars will strike the same place multiple times because there may be weak spots that the burglar knows of from previous experiences. The most common methods for burglars are breaking windows, kicking in doors or opening unlocked doors. They will most likely avoid homes with guard dogs and alarm systems due to the higher risk of being caught.
