For those who don't know, in the Sims 2 and 3 there was a chance of a burglary occurring to your sims, most often at night. It was very similar to the vampire random event that happens if you have the Vampire GP; except instead of stealing your sim's blood, a burglar NPC would steal their belongings. Would you want a burglary event to be introduced into the game? Feel free to elaborate your choice!

Yes - I would love to add more real world stress into my game!
No - I would like for my sims to keep their stuff, thank you very much.
No - I feel like it would end up being a buggy mess.
Maybe - If there is to avoid it or stop it once the event is active, like calling the cops.

Obviously these things should not happen all the time, but without any risk the game is a lot less fun - at least to me.

we all try ...
Would be nice if our sims could be burglars too. I have a kleptomaniac vampire who creeps into other sims’ houses at night using her vampire “eternally welcome” power and steals from them. But, unfortunately kleptomaniacs can only steal one object every eight hours (or maybe every four hours I’m not sure).

Maybe there could be a group of burglars to visit your lot. Should be robbed any hour of the day.
One thing I really did not like with burglars in previous iterations was the screaming alarm - I'm very sensitive to noise. I wouldn't mind having to outsmart burglars again (putting in alarms and so forth) to add a bit of challenge, however.
Also, it would be nice if the burglar wouldn't steal things like wall lights. Evidently, there was a huge black market in 'refurbished' wall lights. Sims 3 burglars couldn't get enough of them. (Of course, I wouldn't be happy if he or she stole my Sims' fully upgraded and modded computer, either.)
I wouldn't mind burglars as much if they took money. Maybe sneak up to a kitchen cupboard and take it out of the cookie jar with a grin? Or from under the matress, while the sim is sleeping.
I hope the next Sims game has an Easy, Medium, and Hard mode. I think that would be the simplest compromise, so those that don't want danger/consequences can avoid it, and those who do, can actually have it in their game without it being incredibly hard to have it happen at random.
+ if they can create a lamp to keep the monster away from the kids bed, they can create something to put in your sims home which prevents the thief from showing up. That way simmers who don't want to be confronted with such a thing can prevent is from happening.
Also, I'm pretty sure a GP containing "bad things" would sell quite well. You know a GP which contains things like burglars, pickpocketing, more random fires (and firemen!!), the debt collector, more ways to die (allergy for peanuts, bee stings, influenza from TS2 and stuff like that), ...
Sorry to hear about the bike.
Burglars were fun when my Sim would have the Brave trait and fight the burglar himself/herself (especially combined with high Athletic skill). Maybe there could be a lot trait for those players that really don't want the burglars stealing their Sims' stuff; you could put that lot trait on your poor to middle class Sims' lots, and take it off for the wealthy Sims.
I'm meh on burglars TBH -- I want to see firefighters return first.

It would be cool if they gave us some kind of wall safe that thieves or our sims as burglars could crack open and rob.
