It depends surely on what they're after. If they want small electronic goods to sell for drug money then they'll smash a window. If they want identity/banking information so they can still the contents of your bank account(s) then probably the SMS and number spoofing is better for them.


If they are that sophisticated, wouldn't they just smash the window take some pictures of the information and steal a TV on the way out?
