(I added in a line mentioning a spooky tune played when a burglar enters a lot.)

Line 23:
Some Sims, particularly [[Fortune]] Sims, often have "getting something stolen" as a [[Wants and Fears|fear]]. If someone in the household encounters the Burglar, they will often react with fright. When the police arrive, the officer will attempt to apprehend the burglar by [[fighting]] them; if successful, the burglar will surrender, but if the officer is defeated, the burglar will escape. If the police officer and the burglar cannot get into a position that allows them to fight, the burglar will flee with their loot. Depending on how long it takes for the officer to reach the burglar, the burglar may have time to steal an object after the police cruiser arrives.
 
With ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]'', Sims with a Silver or Gold [[Robotics]] Badge can use the [[Robot Crafting Station]] to craft [[Robotics#SentryBot|SentryBots]], which are designed to patrol a house and shock any burglars that may enter with an electric current, causing them to run off the lot until the police can arrive.
 
Something that is useful to have in mind is that, on rare occasions, the player can immediately go to buy mode or build mode if the burglar has '''just''' entered the lot and the game has not picked up on it. This can be very helpful if it can be managed, but it is not something that should be counted on. In most cases, there will be a short pause right before the burglar arrives. This can also help determine when the burglar is about to arrive.
