My neighbors when I was in highschool.
Dad was away for the weekend... came home to find his wife and children tied up in the closet, where they'd been for 2 days. It was an affluent neighborhod. Bound, gagged, and duct taped is something people always escape in the movies. In real life... it's a lot harder. Esp if they do your arms behind your back at your elbows and wrists. Completely impossible if they then either hogtie your legs, or cuff you to a radiator or pipe. You're not going anywhere. (The kids were 6 & 10. I used to babysit them.)
Myself when I was on vacation. In fact, that's how I ended up back in Seattle. I was living down south, and when I came home to visit family for 2 weeks, someone broke into my condo and took nearly everything, and trashed the place. I was leasing, and it was going to take weeks to fix, so my manager offered me an out on my lease. Then add 6mo on insurance to come through, and my job being contract work at the time, I decided to stay up here for a little bit. I've left periodically, but that 2 week vacation was now 10+ years ago. I met my husband while waiting on my insurance, and ended up "stuck". ;) Oy.
My neighbors were an odd 'targeted' case. Which is RARE. At least 4 men (that's who the wife saw, but traffic cams suggest there may have been more). Cut the alarms while they slept, subdued her and the kids, and took everything. Multimillion dollar waterfront home with millions in artwork, and all the cash & electronics. They were specifically hit, and dad being gone for the weekend was a fluke. OTW it's entirely possible that they wouldn't have been found for several more days. Yes, they had little dogs. After that they got a pair of BIG dogs (mastifs). Someone tried to hit them again (not as well organized) a few years later. They were the *sweetest* dogs, but also the size of a pony. (Mastifs are GREAT dogs). The mom is this teeny tiny asian lady. (She looked like a fairy walking pugs when she'd take the pair of them out for their daily walks). So it was quite a sight to see when the dogs had the teens flat out on the asphalt, standing on them and barking enough the entire street poured out to see, and mom's dancing around laughing. Rockin'.
Myself? No idea. Probably just a crime of opportunity since I was out of town.
I've had an ex pull a stalker thing, and he broke in multiple times -and sometimes stole things- but that was less burglery and more dipshittery.
