These types of crimes are generally opportunistic. Opportunistic crimes are committed by people who literally don't think of any future, they don't see any risk, only the chance of a reward. Prison is not on their mind. Similar types of crime would be most house burglaries where entrance is easy, pick pocketing and street mugging. For house burglary the way to deter opportunistic criminals is to harden down the house just a little bit. Lock doors, close windows. Often drugs is the driving factor. I notice that out of 207 comments in this thread, only 4 including this one mention drugs. (I used to work in a criminology research office)
