"In affluent parts of the country, people own summer homes and leave them totally unattended during the off-season. This provides burglars with tremendous 'window of opportunity' to break in and ransack them. Because these are usually located at the end of country roads, and with few neighbors, burglars run little risk of observation. In many cases, the only neighboring houses are other summer homes. Some vacation cottages are very well-furnished, with expensive electronics, making them rewarding targets.
Burglars like to work in solitude. A house with a side entrance unseen from the street makes a better target than one with entries in full. A corner house, one with a lot of shrubbery screening the entries, and one isolated at the end of a long drive offers the burglar more privacy."
This is what Burt said about how to try to prevent burglaries from happening to one's home.
