[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 998846, member: 22662"] And I would say that England and Scotland are hardly the same as the United States simply in that they do not have the Second Amendment. I have several guesses at why home invasion is low on the crime scale. Better targets of opportunity. Any fress standing ATM near a Kwik Shop window is easy prey. Besides, who keeps cash in the house anymore? Electronics make more profitable crime possible. Whether it's a simple fraud scam in Emails or intricate downloads of fractional bank transactions, it's easy money. What would anyone want to steal in a house? Powerful laptops that cost $300? Ipods? Gaming machines? Cooler full of PBR? Most of what could be valuable in a house is portable when they are in cars, they are easier targets. Not to mention the car might be worth stealing as well. And in the case of a home invasion, if I am the thief, where do I fence it? I don't know about Oregon, but around here, law enforcement really cleaned up the pawn shops. Last thief ring I knew around here wouldn't even have considered something as low rent as home invasion. Their targets were construction sites. [/QUOTE]
