A friend of mine had both his cars stolen a couple years ago (keys were out on a table, I think). There are ~20 break-ins and car prowls a year in our town, a small one near Seattle. They've caught a few of the bad guys doing this (it is a chancy and protracted process). Mostly they seem to be looking for laptops, cash, jewelry and similar small things easily sold (guessing, for drug money). We also have a lot of mail getting stolen, so identity theft is a thing, too. We're not under siege, but burglary is not dead, either.
