Some of those locations were even in high income areas where the police are well funded, so even that possible explanation falls short.

To be fair, I would probably go and commit crimes in an area that isn't near my house if I were to commit crimes. That way if things go south it's harder to find me, and I can just never visit the location again. Or so I would assume, as I do not commit crimes that are against the law.
