Fair argument

There is one additional factor though which is that the majority of crimes happen on impulses and depend on perceived potential for reward. A tesla, if you know where to sell it is a clear reward. Cars also tend to be very standard. If you can steal one you know how to steal plenty.

For a house (tend to be more career criminals) you can never be sure there isn't someone home, a dog. Layouts are unknown, chance of leaving identifiable evidence goes up as you take time. Escape routes may be limited. There is definitely some additional risk Involved, creative skill required.

I am gonna go on a limb and say for criminals there as advantages and disadvantages to both types of thievery.

Goes without saying that appropriating/breaking items, invading living space from others for any other reason then life/death survival isn morally repulsive and wrong.
