#4 Our local area is facing a lot of off hour break ins of hair salons, which makes zero sense, as explained by my wifes hair cutter, since the hair cutters are mostly independent contractors who pocket whatever cash they have accumulated at the end of every shift, while the credit card transactions are direct deposited to their operating accounts.
Whatever is broken to gain entrance is usually more costly to replace than anything that is taken.

Curious. Maybe something other than money was the point. What would be in a hair salon you couldn't get elsewhere? Concentrated hydrogen peroxide comes to mind. A common ingredient in unstable, homemade explosives.

#9 Might be a tougher target than a hair salon.

True, what with the controlled meds and all.

Also, drug store peroxide is about 3%. Hair salon peroxide is about 15%, I believe. And comes in gallon jugs. But hey, I'm just speculating.

#10 For Mother of Satan explosive, perhaps. Historically they went to beauty supply shops for acetone, but those are watched nowadays.
