"Listened to a KFI radio interview when I lived in Los Angeles. Former anonymous burglar said he avoided houses that hung the U.S. flag. Said it told him the occupants likely owned at least one firearm. Would avoid even if it looked as though no one was home."
some urban legends you have lined up here but from personal experience i can say you want either cash or jewelery, everything else is to hard to take away or cant be sold and 90% of the Jewelery is fake too.
this changes of course if you are a crackhead fiending the next shot.
