It's really hard to rob anyplace of their cash these days, as it is rarely used in transactions.

I could go weeks without carrying any cash on me, and we don't have it in the house either. We get it when we need it.

I think thieves these days hitting houses are after jewelry and gold. Lots of home owners forget that it's not enough to have a safe. You have to have a safe that can't be carried out. Floor safes are good if they can't be cracked. We had one in the 2nd home we lived in. We also had a panic room. It was a bit nuts.

People who are not from Western countries are more likely to have cash in the home due to many who have ingrained distrust of government and the stability of that and banking institutions. Those are good targets for thieves, as they often times will be business owners. Cash transactions can allow for tax evasion, so a small business owner is more likely to have cash in the home if they do a lot of cash business at work.
