I just started a new save to get a challenge done. I’m doing the law enforcement one and i got robbed twice in one week. To be honest i find it amusing and annoying at the same time. I never got robbed so frequently. In total in all three saves i have combined i have had a total of 4 robberies happen. Its rare but for me it doent seem like it.

Wasn't me
She was lol and both times were girls. Different people.
Same here but cmon i literally have nothing of value my sim is a poor fella
Chance of burglar spawn is 0.025, max 0.1. (Does not seem tied to amount of money in household).
Max NPC in burglar pool are 2, and the game tries to send the same NPC to a specific household.
Relationships required with burglar to prevent them to show up is 'value="75" '.
And: ' kSimoleansForOnePercentIncrease value="20000" '.
For each added sum of 20000 simoleans an extra 1% chance of getting robbed? (Please correct). That is, once the household has stuff including the house etc worth 20000. That sum is easily reached early in a save, even in a bad house with low income.
Sorry about my unstructured answer but I am trying to understand this myself.
It seems a little odd that you had two different robbers, but if you befriend them that would perhaps solve the problem, if it is one
I know I have, especially when in households with lots of stuff.
The last time I was robbed was when dirt poor and the burglar took my stereo while playing music and it got stuck in family inventory when returned by the police, so I had to take everything out of inventory and then choose 'sell all' - and redo the upgrade on a new stereo..
Enough to compensate is that it in the xml states that this NPC-service costs nothing.
I have games going on several sim years and have never been robbed.
Teague - who is the actual cop, as well as my Werewolf, and Lvl 10 in Athletics - got to the burglar first, and won the fight. Sadly, the burglar then ran away, before Ean could get his 2 cents in, either fighting, or with a curse,
This is this household's second break in, in maybe 4 in-game weeks, and the first where I was able to put their Brave ability to apprehend burglars to use. On neither occasion was anything actually stolen.
