I've been doing a bit of the same.

Is this the "he" that is being referred to? Did he not like dogs?

Not sure how the real-estate is connected?

I don't know who the "he" is being referred to in all this.
I mean initial thoughts and articles are a robbery, but a robbery for what? Did the business do a lot of cash transactions where cash would be on hand (buy here pay here- see next paragraph). Why steal 2 vehicles and drop one (this tells me it must not have been about reselling the vehicle for money), but where is the second vehicle? If about cash why take computers/business records.
"She said the business had overnight break-ins in the past, but nothing that indicated something violent would happen. The buy-here, pay-here business was family-owned for four decades and allowed people to purchase vehicles who might not otherwise be able to find financing."
Another thought is the incident occurred after closing, but the front of that building is all glass. If someone wanted to break in and steal stuff why do it when the owners were clearly still there. Why not wait until after they left? It seems from past stories, most people that are into burglary prefer to avoid contact with people and just break in to get what they need and go. During previous break ins had they tried this but couldn't find whatever they were looking for so chose confrontation?
I could be overthinking a simple robbery gone bad I guess but it seems odd. I am also guessing the intruders walked or were dropped off by someone since they left in stolen vehicles.
