I think during the week before Christmas, there is more burglary, robbery, fraud, purse-snatching, bank robbery, and breaking into cars to steal stuff than at any other time of the year. Most galling is the thefts of Christmas gifts being held at a church or a social services agency to give to the poor - it’s so loathesome, and people are good hearted and often make contributions to replace the stuff. But still! What is some druggie going to do with a hundred toiletry kits, or stuffed animals, or candy canes?
