Agent finally admitted he was wrong, when another insured walked in on these guys, who walked out with over $40K in goods & guns.

Yeah they target houses for electronics Left an old Dell, old school TV. But took my MacBook Pro & some gold jewelry. Could tell they were pros. Went through everything fast. As neighbor saw them pull in, thought it was us. I was home about 1/2 your later. Was another hour before I realized anything was wrong. The laptop had been under the bed. Had the curtains closed & living room lights on as the police always tell you to do.

Latter, I saw a suspicious van cruising the street, but the police couldn't get there in time. So they had a van scouting and holding the loot, while the car does the in and out. A couple of weeks later, the police reports stopped. Probably moved on to avoid the cops.
