What if that money they stole was for something very important like a needed surgery. If they had gotten away how would of that homeowner been able to prove he even had the money. Some do not trust banks.

That's the risk you take if you keep your money under the mattress, so to speak.

<joke>Maybe if you entered all the serial numbers on wheresgeorge.com you could prove those bills were yours</joke>

What percentage of burglaries end up with the property being recovered?

My apt was robbed a few years back while I was away on x-mas vacation. They took all the electronics, dvds, some clothes and my bike. The only thing I got back was my bike b/c I was lucky enough to call the shop where I bought it and they gave me the serial number. It turned up in a pawn shop. A warrant was issued for the guy after that (yeah he used his real ID when he pawned it) but i'm not sure if he ever got picked up and charged.

I didn't recover anything else. IMHO the biggest loss was all the documents, pictures and emails on the computer I had have been building for many years.
