Some have been brutal, at times involving follow-home murders.
However, the victims are almost always women or the elderly.
They rarely seem to go after non-elderly men.
Why?
Because even though the robber still has a big edge when holding a gun or knife, he still doesn't want to take the chance to rob someone who might fight him, when he can easily pick on someone who is likely unable to fight back.
Pretty much the same thing goes for hotel room thefts.
