Another dead giveaway is to see a car parked in driveway with a sign that says something on the order of "home sitter". I've always told my wife when I see one that those people are away and have hired a sitter and hope someone canvasing the neighborhood doesn't see it.
I think actually that these robberies are happening to people that are living there but not home. If you are gone for the summer you wouldn't leave cash and jewelry there.
