Types of Burglars / “The Scouter” Unlike the opportunist, the scouter is premeditated, searching around neighborhoods for things to steal. Unlocked doors and windows are a definite bonus to this kind of thief, but not essential to carrying out a burglary. Scouters are usually messy thieves, not afraid to break a window or force a lock to gain entry into a home, and once inside they will take anything that can easily be carried in pockets or a backpack to later be exchanged for quick cash.
