Crowbar or cow's foot

The twilight burglary (DWE) is in the criminology a subset of the domestic burglary .

One speaks of a DWE if the time of the offense can be limited to the period between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. There is a regular sharp rise in the number of twilight falls between November and March. In the winter months, the perpetrators can more easily see whether people are in the apartments or houses, as the lights are switched on when they are present. The onset of darkness offers the perpetrators protection during the execution of the crime and the withdrawal from the object of the crime , the removal of the prey.
