Ok, I admit it, I have watched the show 'it takes a thief'.... One thing that's clear tough, burglars go for 'soft' targets... homes with secluded back yards, etc. If your parents home is visible, and they are tearing off bars from the window to get in, then something is wrong with the picture.... who else knows that your parents have a safe?

I have some family in Florida who live in an 'exclusive' neighborhood (Justin Timberlake lives next door, as does Shaq, and Ken Griffy Jr is across the lake), and one night my brilliant cousin had a party..... *for whatever reason, he felt like showing off to some people he didn't know at this party, and showed them the safe housed within a hidden room, accessed through the master bedroom clothes closet. Guess what happened about 2 weeks later... you guessed it, someone broke in (despite the guard house at the entrance, CCTV and alarm system) and went right for the safe.... basically my cousin gave these folks a reason to risk the high security because they knew there was a large payoff.
