      I think this individual was going for lower hanging fruit (and presumably hoping for lighter consequences if they got caught, though I’m not sure that’s what they would have gotten).

      In this case, after talking to neighbors, it seemed like they were just going down the street, briefly stopping at each driveway, breaking into whatever cars they could, quickly going through the glove compartment and center console, and stealing anything they perceived to be of value.
