Thieves ain't to worry whether you're home or not, they're not even interested in knocking on your door. Saw on WHAS11 news last night where thieves are able to steal a set of wheels and tires off a car is less than one minute while the car is parked in the drive or on the street or whatever. Floor jacks are light weight now days, making them easy to haul around and raise a car up with only a few downward motions of the handle (I know because I have one of these new style floor jacks)...two guys get the car in the air, start working a 4-way..GONE!
Now I know why I've started seeing shops set up for doing nothing more than selling used wheels and tires...mainly the big 22's and such. I just figured "home-boy" hocked his own wheels for cash, which may be true, but I bet there's a good number of stolen goods in these same shops too.
