What Is Racketeering?
4. Theft
One of the most direct ways of racketeering is through stealing what is not yours. It is a method often used by low-level criminals as they may look to break into peoples’ homes to see what they can take of value. It can also be used by more advanced criminal organizations or individuals when there are items of high value to be taken.

Theft is often used as a way to raise money because stolen goods are then sold on. Other forms of theft might include hacking into bank accounts and similar so the thieves can appropriate funds for themselves. Remember that thefts are usually opportunistic, so try and make sure your belonging are not left exposed.
