All kidding aside about snowbirds, larceny is a crime of opportunity and during the winter months opportunity abounds here. The place is packed with seasonal and permanent residents out enjoying themselves. Lots of empty houses and the theives know it. In the summer many empty houses with nothing to steal. The snowbirds take their money and jewelry with them. Many permanent residents are home more in the summer because of the heat. The opposite happens up north in the winter. Burglaries are always fewer in the winter because everyone stays home because of the weather. My question is why do so many people keep large amounts of cash at home?
