Here in DC a few years back, we had a rash of home robberies by a group called the "polite burglers." They spoke the King's English with a proper British accent and were very considerate of the victims when they woke them up to show them to the goodies. They would apologize for brandishing weapons ("absolutely necessary, you know") and would thank the victims for the bounty.
They were highly skilled and never set off any of the alarms installed in the houses they robbed. Since then, I installed the locks on the inside of our bedroom doors.
I don't recall that they were ever apprehended. Happy Monkey? Garnet?? Anyone??? Beuller????
