Having been a victim years ago (not in TV)...
you can rest assured there is only one thing they are after....money....or anything that will convert to cash quickly like jewelry/electronics...anything a pawn shop will give cash for.
It all boils down to common sense. The mentality for home is the same for the car...lock it...don't leave valuables unsecured...and in most cases victims do not take preventive action.
Just don't make it easy for the perp......they don't stay long even when the hit pay dirt and the same goes for when they find nothing they want.
As for the recent "rash" of thefts....statistically insignificant given the size of the population.....in a city of 70,000 with 20incidents = not even one tenth of one percent. However if you are a victim the stats don't matter. The perps are only taking advantage of those who choose to remain vulnerable.
