Nice day for a burglary

My neighbour had an attempted burglary a couple of weeks ago. I heard them in my yard too. I was surprised because it was raining, and burglars don't come out in the rain, do they?

I looked to see if I could find any research done on the impact of weather on burglaries and couldn't find much. My favourite paper I found is on the effect of weather on homocide.

I was informed (HT: SA) that burglars take advantage of thunders storms to cut/saw through burglar bars, which I have on all of my windows. Maybe they actually like bad weather then?

It reminded me of the Shawshank Redemption.
