I agree. But they are even more attracted to opportunity. An easy quick
theft is more of an enticing target to a burglar than a rich man's house who
can afford to guard it well.

that are probably guarded by a security system, heavy duty safes, etc.

Nicolas, like you I'm not sure either. You may be right. There are a million
ways people think (or don't think as the case may be), but I'd rather hit a
house that I already know has a quick in/out time than some famous guy's
place where I don't even know whether he's wired, or keeps his stuff in a
gun safe, etc.

And maybe I'm in the wrong sand. For all I know you're right and some fan of
James lifted his mansion grabbing guitars, albums, pearl necklaces,
diamonds, etc.
