That’s a very specific situation though. The thief was a trusted person that came into the house, and it was a crime of opportunity. Also, the article does not say if it was a PIN or Passphrase or both. It uses the term „password“. Even if the passphrase or pin was further separated, it would probably be in the house somewhere and he still could have found it. And, even if not, you have someone brazen enough to do this against a 65 year old inside their own home. Without finding the „password“, he could have physically intimated the victim into giving him the information.
This is by far the least common type of theft, and he was easily caught.
