There is some truth in robbers targeting specific communities - my friend in IL was interned in the house by CDC because her family was on a plan with some one with contagious disease - left for dinner and returned three hours later with place wiped clean.. there was spate of such robberies in NJ/NY area too.. with both couples working - Indians tend to have ornaments, etc relatively easy pick..very few folks from this community opt for guns its still a taboo of sorts
