Many burglars are risk - takers. They are willing to take the chance of getting caught in order to potentially get valuable items. They also may have some knowledge of how to disable basic security systems, like simple alarm systems. Additionally, they usually avoid direct confrontation. If they sense that someone is at home or that there is a high risk of getting caught, they are likely to abandon the burglary attempt.
Electronics are often targeted. Items such as laptops, tablets, and smart phones are popular among burglars. These can be sold quickly in the black market for a good price. Another thing they look for is prescription drugs. Some burglars steal these to sell on the street.
Once upon a time, there were two burglars. They planned to break into an old mansion. They waited until midnight when the whole town was asleep. They quietly slipped into the backyard. But little did they know, there was a security system that they accidentally triggered. The alarms went off and they panicked. They ran as fast as they could, leaving behind their tools. In the end, they didn't manage to steal anything and learned a hard lesson not to underestimate security measures.
One possible theme could be redemption. The burglars might start off as bad characters but end up changing for the better during the Christmas season.
Perhaps it's a story where burglars accidentally end up in a house on Christmas Eve that has some sort of mystery or magic related to Christmas. They get caught up in it and their lives are changed forever. For example, they might find that the family they were going to rob has a special Christmas tradition that touches them deeply.
They try to break into the Bumpus' house.
Well, you can start by making sure your home has strong locks on all entrances. Deadbolts are a great addition. Trim bushes and trees near windows and doors so burglars can't hide there. You could also consider getting a security camera. It not only acts as a deterrent but can also record any suspicious activity. Neighborhood watch programs are also effective. If neighbors look out for each other, it's harder for burglars to operate.
They attempt to burglarize a house.
I'm not very familiar with a specific story titled 'Burglars a Christmas Story'. It could be a rather unique or perhaps a local/less - known tale. Maybe it involves burglars having some sort of encounter during Christmas, like they might target a house full of Christmas presents and then have a change of heart when they see the family's Christmas spirit.
There might also be the families or people whose houses the burglars target. Their reactions and the way they celebrate Christmas could play a big role in the story. For instance, if there's a kind - hearted family that leaves out cookies for Santa, and the burglars see this and it makes them think twice.
Burglars in spy novels often use special tools like diamond-tipped cutters or laser devices to make precise cuts in the glass without making too much noise.
