Question

Does crime pay? The FBI Standard Survey of Crimes showed that for about 80% of all property crimes (burglary, larceny, car theft, etc.), the criminals are never found and the case is never solved. Suppose a neighborhood district in a large city suffers repeated property crimes, not always perpetrated by the same criminals. The police are investigating ten property crime cases in this district.
