“Home invasions are most often a falling out among drug dealers and thieves.”
Is that conclusion really given any credence in our police departments? I may have lead a sheltered life, but all the robberies I’ve heard of had to do with neither!
Which do you (or your friend) consider is usually the homeowner, the drug dealer or the thief? Or is this just something the police are trained to ask to get a reaction?

Most of these are after drugs because that is worth more money to a criminal than the television, jewelry, etc. In most of the cases I have seen the the robbers know what they are after before they do the robbery.

Illegal aliens not involved in drugs here in Washington state seem to be victimized more often because many of them keep their cash on their person instead of in a bank but the usual target of a “crib crash” is drugs. And yes, the police have to ask all questions during an investigation.

It’s human nature I suppose for even the police to not want acts like these to be random. We have a wife and kid at home as well.

Usually both are involved.
