Why not? If, instead, they had broken into the house next door and gotten $10,000 worth of jewelry we would never have known the neighbors' silverware existed. Then someone would say "they must have known about the jewelry!"

If there was only $1,000 in jewelry stolen we wouldn't know about any of it.
