Isn't a lot of property crime targeting cash, drugs, jewelry and small electronics at this point? And then things like bikes and cars.
Like looking around my house, there's not much other stuff that you could fence for $1,000 laying around.
Which is not to say I think that the concern there was valid.
- acdha 5y agoTrue (although electronics are getting harder as manufacturers increasingly use cloud services which can brick a stolen device) but I think the bigger point is just that most crime happens relatively locally — nobody bikes 20 miles to steal an XBox. I think you’re right that the value density is going down, too - nobody is breaking in to steal CDs and DVDs any more.
