You dont agree? Though burglars dont do big attacks like 9/11 they do significant amounts of economical damage and with the large availability of guns I bet americans sometimes get killed. If burglar gangs wouldnt be fought they would be a huge threat to society.

Millions of dollars are spent in the fight against burglary. These people operate in individual cells or independant small groups, making them hard to catch. There are also large amounts of burglars in 'sleeping cells' which awake when the oppertunity arises. A recent example of such an awakening happened in the aftermath of hurricane katrina and also in the aftermath of the decisive psv-ajax match in amsterdam.

Now do you understand my analogy? Scared yet?
