Again, most people in San Francisco or Seattle won't be the victim of any crime in their home while they're present. Crimes against persons are generally rare; crimes against persons in their own home are especially rare, since burglars overwhelmingly attempt their crimes when they believe the homes are unoccupied.

Think so, do you?
You're assuming the classic burglar paradigm is holding. It's not.

What you're dealing with now are street junkies who live in tents who need to score a drug fix RIGHT NOW. That means they don't follow "the rules" of burglaries. They'll break into a place to get the money to buy the drugs that they need right that second.
