I've been told by people from several different condominiumsthat all the robberies they have heard of lately have been committed by women. They said they have been very successful for several reasons, including:
1. People tend to feel less threatened by the presence of an unknown
woman.
2. Security people and employees who suspect a woman treat them much
more carefully than they would a man. This is also true of the people
who happen to catch a woman robbing them. Misplaced chivalry.
3. Women caught in an apartment are able to pretend they are cleaning,
etc., much easier than a man. If the employees are not known, such as
with renters, they have been known to thank the woman who did the
cleaning, even that woman's real reason for going into the apartment was
to rob them.
4. Women are able to pretend they are prostitutes and they only reason they are there is to find customers.
