However, police say their biggest concern isn't so much robberies, but home invasions.
Police say there have been at least five home invasions since September.
How did I miss two?
Even though this is a larger number than usual, police are saying that each one of the victims was targeted for a specific reason by the suspect.
"It's significant we had a number of them where it jumps out at me and I do want to clarify again that these are not random events," said Sgt. Bob Shene with the Duluth Police Department.
How wonderfully equivocating. Of course they're not random. "They look rich" eliminates the random factor. Victims are cased, not drawn from a hat.
Police say it is important to be careful where you put a hide–a–key.
Don't put it in a place where it can be easily found.
Write down the serial numbers of all the expensive items in your home.
This will help police find them if they ever get stolen.
And if you are going to be out of town, put automatic timers on your lights and have your neighbors collect your mail.
