You're completely underestimating how organized and pre-planned these are. They case possible targets for a few days, they have an accomplice rent a nice car for them to travel in to reduce suspicion. This isn't random knocking on doors and then burglarizing the place when they get no answer. None of which detracts from my point that burglaries carry an inherent risk of violent encounter. Nor does it detract from my point that these are so freely engaged in as the perpetrators know they face minimal detention time if caught.
