alt Hacker News0.82% of homes are burglarized every year.
Meaning since 2015, you’ve got an 8.2% chance of having someone walk out with that box. Hopefully there’s nothing precious on it.

They didn't imply the box was at their home and that probability is off

I definitely do not keep it at home but the thought has crossed me for smaller less demanding boxes.

If they have good backuos, no worries. Mine is in a locked colo cage in a datacenter, so I'm not worried either.

Assuming that all homes are at equal risk of being burglarized. In practice the neighborhoods I’ve seen are either at much higher risk or much lower risk.
