No one risks 4 or 5 years in jail for the off chance they found the 1 in a 1000 houses that Grandma has a couple of grand in the night cabinet.
In the 1980's pre cash machines and debit cards every home owner tended to keep a few hundred bucks kicking around, the TV and stereo, even in old and fairly lousy condition were worth good money second hand and most women kept some decent jewellery around, all of that has disappeared, the only thing worth stealing now are phones and tablets and as we never let them leave or side, even when we sleep, they are impossible to burgle, you have to rob them and they are traceable so its a risky crime.
