In my area of London, burglary is a virtually abandoned trade.
Anyone with anything of value works from home at least part of the week. Why risk entering someone's actual house when you can make easy money on drugs, fraud, crypto, bicycle theft, phone snatching, or umpteen other hustles I don't even know about.
Bicycle theft especially. You could easily clear a grand or two a week with zero fear of prosecution.
