Professional burglars target commercial properties rather than residential because with commercial properties the burglar can scope the place out from the inside during business hour, see where everything is layed out and how much the pay off could be for the job.
Before a job a burglar may scope the place out, get an idea of what and where everything is. The burglar may phone from a pay phone then check if it's still ringing to see if anyone's home.They like to target people they know. They may dress up as a cable or FedEx man. Work in teams, one looks out while the others rob the place. They like to target drug dealer because the hold money and drugs on them and won't contact the police.
Professional burglars target the same residents more than once because
-It takes less effort
-They are aware of the layout
-Easy entry and the escape routes are known
-Lack of protective measure
-Goods have been observed the first time and they collect what they might have missed
The characteristics of a good burglar include
-technical competence
-personal integrity
-specialization in burglary
-financial success
-the ability to avoid prison sentencing
