Is There Any Correlation With Drug Use/abuse and Breaking Into Homes?

Question by Kalla: Is there any correlation with drug use/abuse and breaking into homes?
I live in small town in West Virginia and there has been a string of some unknown assailant breaking into many homes. When you ask people what the reason could be they say, “The dope made ’em do it.”, or “They want drugs.” I’ll admit that West Virginia has many prescription drug abuse cases, but I have a had time believing this is the case 100%.

It could be a reason, but there are also many other reasons as well. I can think of a lot. Like, they do it for the thrill, they see something they like, it could be stupid teenagers trying to be “bad-asss”, drugs, alcohol, they weren’t in the right state of mind.
