Well that's a clever idea, however not very effective first of all an employee wearing a safety vest and hard hat wouldn't be so blatantly stupid to wear his uniform into a a residence to steal jewelry.... Desperate people do that and these guys blatantly stupid smart thieve would have done their research and hit an upscale neighborhood..... These knuckle heads were looking for some fast cash, I mean who goes to North East Portland to burglarize a home..... Someone comfortable in that area...
