People have let out (or someone else has) on SM they are on holiday etc. Thieves break-in and steal the big upstairs copper tank (hot water) for scrap copper value. They don't turn off the water and everything is destroyed.
They might take other stuff, but scrap metal is easier to sell than a 2nd hand TV etc.
No one takes any notice of a van and workers going out the front door in broad daylight.
