Burglars are dangerous people as a group. Many are rapists. Breaking into property is not the objective. The objects of burglary at best larceny or vandalism (the least dangerous objectives). Burglars at their worst are rapists and child-molesters. Contempt for the boundaries of ordinary people is a sociopathic quality.
I have known one fellow, a completely untrustworthy person, who broke into a house to get women's clothing. I would not be surprised if this creep (a relative) is eventually convicted for rape. He's now in his mid-fifties (he is a relative, and you don't choose them), not that that will stop him if he gets the urge.
Burglars are unpredictable. California had a three-strikes law, and by sentencing people to extremely long terms for burglaries, the state got an unpredicted result of rapes falling off. Don't confront; just get out.
