Also in areas with a high Asian population they look for shoes on the porch.  Asians are more likely to keep cash in their home and not trust banks.

Criminals breaking into your home are looking for 1a: money, 1b: firearms, 2. jewelry, and a distant 3. easily portable electronics.  They will carry them out of your house in your pillowcases so if you see a person/persons toting an apparently full pillowcase outside a neighbor's home, call the police.  Unless it's Halloween and they're kids, in which case don't. 

Yeah, I wasn't really being serious about that. But the information is useful anyway. I had heard that before about people looking for guns when they broke in, but didn't realize it was that high of a priority for them on the checklist.
