As for having work done on our house, we did just have a summer kitchen added. We had many workman around, plumbers, electricians, stucco people, cabinets, screens. All the guys seemed very nice. The only ones inside our house was the electrician to do some extra things we wanted. And the main contractor.
But most of the guys met our dogs on the lanai.
One of our dogs was an abused rescue, and he is very wary of strangers in his territory. We have to introduce him to new people very slowly. He's very suspicious and growly until he knows you. But then he'll love you to death.
The final inspection on our work was done yesterday.
I absolutely hate to think it could be a worker, but the police are going to interview every single person who worked here.

Whoever broke in was only in our bedroom and bath (we think), and the bedroom door was closed, so the dogs couldn't get in there, but I'm sure they were raising cain.

And our break-in has not been in the Daily Sun. (yet?)

The detectives said they are all working overtime, 6 and 7 days a week,
until they catch this ring of crooks.
