Quite ofter perpetrators like this don't travel very far from home; if all the break-ins are plotted on a map, they very well may end up making a ring around where they live.

A woman in the same building as mine had this happen last week, too. It was on Adams St. between Washtenaw and Emmet. They used a rock. It sounds like they aren't traveling very far for each break in.
