What will be an ideal response?


Effective MO files are essential in investigating burglaries because most burglars commit a series of burglaries. Look for patterns in the location, day of week, time of day, type of property stolen, and method of entry and exit. The burglar may commit vandalism, ransack, write with lipstick on mirrors, take only cash or jewelry, drink liquor from the scene, or eat from the refrigerator. Such peculiarities can tie several burglaries to one suspect.
