A '''burglar''' is a Sim (an [[NPC]] in ''[[The Sims]]'' or ''[[The Sims 2]]''), who will sneak onto a lot when all Sims are sleeping, most often during the night, and attempt to steal items from the household. Burglars in ''The Sims'' are always male, but in ''The Sims 2'' or ''[[The Sims 3]]'' can be either male or female. Playable characters can become burglars in ''The Sims 3''. Burglars can steal possessions of any size, and will often steal the most valuable items on the lot. Burglars can be arrested by the [[Police|police]] if they are summoned quickly enough - the only way to ensure that the police are called in time is to install burglar alarms. If you don't have an alarm, you can call the police, but the police may not arrive in time to stop the burglar from escaping with your Sim's possessions, so it's always a good idea to buy alarms as soon as possible. |

In [[The Sims 2]] some Sims, particularly [[Fortune|fortune]] Sims, often have "getting something stolen" as a [[Fears|fear]]. If someone in the household encounters the Burglar, they will often react with fright. When/if the police arrive, the officer will attempt to apprehend the burglar by fighting him/her; if successful, the burglar will surrender, but if the officer is defeated the burglar will escape.

Often, your house will be infiltrated by a '''burglar''', who will rush round your house cramming items the size of television sets into a small black bag. Burglars only appear if every Sim in the house is fast asleep, and can easily be prevented by installing a burglar alarm at every door. If one is installed and a burglar still attempts to rob you, the police will come running, attempt to arrest the burglar and if successful offer you [[§]]1000, as well as being reimbursed for anything the burglar may have stolen. The [[police]] will ask to keep the stolen items for evidence. If you don't have an alarm, you can call the police, but the police never make it on time meaning you never stop the burglar and never get the award and they simply run off with your Sim's possessions. |

An exploit to burglar proof your house that works in both games is to make a single wall on both sides of the street and put an alarm on them, causing the alarm to be set off as soon as they appear on the lot.

To kill a burglar, you need at least one of the expansion packs. Type the boolProp cheat (boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true). Then Shift Click on the victim (hopefully the burglar), and click make selectable. You need to type your cheat while in the neighborhood for it to work. Then, just drag his hunger meter ALL the way down. Reset him by Shift clicking on him and on Force Error, then Reset. He will die shortly. To make him die any way you want, use the boolProp cheat, shift click on a sim, and spawn the tombstone of L & D. Click "add (Burglar's name here) to the family", then click on the burglar's profile. Cancel the burgle option and shift click on him/her, choose "force error", then reset. Shift click the sim again, then click spawn and spawn "Rodney's Death Creator". Use the burglar to click on the tombstone, then kill the burglar any way you want to! Also, if you want to laugh while he dies, you need either Nightlife or Open for Business. Go to www.simwardrobe.com, click The Sims 2, then click objects, then Shooters! then assault rifle. |

A burglar is a Sim (an NPC in The Sims or The Sims 2), who will sneak onto a lot when all Sims are sleeping, most often during the night, and attempt to steal items from the household. Burglars in The Sims are always male, but in The Sims 2 or The Sims 3 can be either male or female. Playable characters can become burglars in The Sims 3. Burglars can steal possessions of any size, and will often steal the most valuable items on the lot. Burglars can be arrested by the police if they are summoned quickly enough - the only way to ensure that the police are called in time is to install burglar alarms. If you don't have an alarm, you can call the police, but the police may not arrive in time to stop the burglar from escaping with your Sim's possessions, so it's always a good idea to buy alarms as soon as possible.
In The Sims 2 some Sims, particularly fortune Sims, often have "getting something stolen" as a fear. If someone in the household encounters the Burglar, they will often react with fright. When/if the police arrive, the officer will attempt to apprehend the burglar by fighting him/her; if successful, the burglar will surrender, but if the officer is defeated the burglar will escape. With The Sims 2: Open for Business, Sims with the Robot Crafting Station can craft SentryBots, which are designed to patrol a house and electrocute (and stun, not kill) any burglars that may enter until the police can arrive. When a burglar comes onto a lot, all Sims on the lot will have the "Burglar!" memory, even if the burglar is captured.
In The Sims 3, playable Sims can become burglars, something not possible in previous games. There is also a hidden trait called Burglar: Burglars must perfect their sneaking skills to properly liberate imprisoned items from the homes of neighbors. Burglars like to keep the skill in the family, so their children are able to sneak out like a pro at birth.
Tips
In The Sims, an easy way to make a house burglar-proof is to build a single wall on both sides of the lot and put a burglar alarm on each; when a burglar enters the lot, the alarms will be set off instantly, resulting in the police being summoned immediately; often before the burglar can even enter the house.
In The Sims 2, burglar alarms cannot be placed outside (except with the move_objects cheat), so each room with a door to the outside should have an alarm.
In The Sims 2: Open for Business, if a Sim has a Silver Robotics Badge (or higher), they can craft a SentryBot, which will shock any burglars it comes in contact with.
If you have The Sims 2: Pets installed, and if your Sim is a Werewolf, they can fight the burglar like a cop. The burglar will attempt to run if he loses, but steals items quicker if he wins. This can be a good distraction if you don't think you can win, but the cops are on their way.
