I'm putting this story here to show you guys how prolific this burglar is & how he does recon work & how methodical he is before striking, & the cops are sure he's ex-military.......although its in London, & he's been commiting these crimes over 12 years, they can't catch him, & he's hit the same neighborhoods.

Is the Night Watcher ALSO the Wimbledon Prowler? Police spot disturbing similarities between 'highly professional ex-soldier' and burglar responsible for 200 raids in south London
The violent burglar dubbed the 'Night Watcher' could be the same criminal who has terrorised a wealthy London suburb, a top detective said last night.
Police suspect a soldier is responsible for a series of raids on Home Counties mansions, taking valuables worth millions after brutally beating owners.
The Night Watcher spends weeks in the grounds of the homes he has targeted noting every move before he strikes.
[...]
This has led them to suspect that either they were stolen to order or have been sold overseas on a black market.
Detective Inspector Dee Fielding, who is leading the Night Watcher inquiry for Surrey Police, said the culprit had 'specialist knowledge and skills' far above those of an ordinary burglar.
She said officers were working with police elsewhere to assess whether he may have committed more burglaries.
'We anticipate we will get some calls from other forces about further burglaries at similar houses,' she said.
'We work in an affluent area and it is not unusual to have multi-million-pound burglaries. We cannot rule out that he has committed further offences.'
