Umm, in most households anyway, theft isn't considered suicidal.

 It is if you're in a place where gun ownership isn't restricted.

And a place where property is valued more than life.

If you're in Texas and considering home invasion as a vocation, the
probability that you'll be shot sooner rather than later is something you need
to seriously consider.

Or you find someone desperate enough they'll do the invasions for you.
