Burglars

Being a professional burglar is a lucrative yet extremely tough job. Neil Shover explains that a burglar must have four attributes to turn a profit from stealing from houses. The burglar must have many skills to commit break and enters; be able to gain entry into property, choose valuable items with high resale value, and opening safes without damaging the contents inside. A good burglar must be able to team up and form a trustworthy criminal gang to help with the jobs. They must have inside information, a burglar wouldn't want to steal from a house that has low priced valuables. The burglar must also have access to someone who will buy or sell their stolen goods for them.

A professional burglar is someone who is fully sustained off of stealing and burglarizing houses and business property. These people plan there attacks and are not fooling around. Their number one goal is to steal the most expensive pieces of your property as fast as possible without you knowing who or when it happened. A burglar may try to hit the same residence or business more than once, as they have already had previous experience and feel like they know what to expect when they enter. A burglar will gain knowledge and valuable experience from other burglars or from simply breaking and entering and building up experience over time.

Some burglars like to burglarize commercial property rather than houses as they "feel better" stealing from a profitable business rather than a family.
