I'm not talking about a local crim with a long record of petty offences, I'm talking about "serious" criminals who're looking for high value targets of prosperous houses and top end cars. Three or four blokes in the car, the driver just drives, the others "do the business" and drive cars away, back to where the group started from.

They enter a house, often with the occupants still asleep, find the car keys in the hall, find anything of value then drive the car away. The car either goes in a container and shipped "abroad" or is dismantled for parts.
