I'm confused about why home invasions happen where they do. There is a thread about a home invasion and an 11-yr-old protecting his mother. On the news tonight was another story about HI. Neither story reports a motive. In the recent multiple murders in Indpls, the BGs thought there was a safe in the home I believe. So that one I guess I understand.
It struck me tonight and in most HIs that they occur in lower middle class neighborhoods. Why wouldn't the BGs hit a higher clientele? I don't get it. Do you suppose it's more a crime of convenience? i.e. Why would I drive up to a fancy neighborhood for my home invasion, I'll just hit Joe across the street. My wife says if criminals were smart, they wouldn't need to be criminals. Any ideas?
