robbed

Imagine attending a funeral of a loved one only to return to that person's house to find it had been broken into and robbed.  An elderly Niskayuna woman, who recently passed away, had her house violated by despicable thieves who walked into her home during broad daylight stealing valuables  while grieving family and friends paid their respects.

I don't know, I haven't robbed anything in my life, but I just don't see how this was a way to get a bunch of money all at once. Though, really when someone goes to rob anything they're probably pretty desperate and will just take what they can get.
