Our street almost always has lawn company trucks or construction company trucks parked. I assume most neighborhoods are the same.
I'd think it would be easy for any robber to park on a street and figure out the patterns of a household.
If you see a couple depart with a couple of golf bags on their cart, chances are they'll be gone for a couple of hours.
We all need to watch out for our neighbors, and question anything suspicious.
