Many older migrants have invested in property in goa, especially if their parents were settled there. Often these migrants are not able to live in the homes they have purchased all the time since they have also lived in other states.
Taking advantage of the fact that the migrants are not well connected, the burglars are vandalizing the homes of single older migrants repeatedly.
After the shock of the first burglary, the home owner will usually ensure that there is nothing of value in the house, yet the burglars will continue to vandalize the home, damaging the doors, taps, plumbing
This demotivates the home owner, who may not want to invest a large amount of time and money in getting the home repaired
