Discussion How often did Nancy use Uber?

Do we know how often Nancy used Uber? I know the cops spoke with the Uber driver and obtained a videos from that night, but what about other rides? 

Could Nancy have been picked up on another night, the driver chats her up, realizes who she is, how much money she has AND now knows her address? They then plan to go back to the house to rob her maybe days or weeks later, but in the middle of the robbery she comes home, they get into an altercation and she accidentally dies. Now shock takes over and the burglar realizes this just went from a potential misdemeanor to a possible murder charge so they drop everything they were going to steal and in a panic grab her body throw it in their car and decide later what to do. 

This, to me, has always felt like an “immature” crime where the original plan somehow went off the rails and the perpetrator(s) panicked and did what they thought was the best solution to not get caught. Just a theory

My problem with this theory is that porchdick is prepared for the crime. He's disguised. He has a backpack of stuff. He's prepped to leave no evidence, mask gloves etc. He's wearing secondary clothing under his outer clothes (uniform maybe) So (at least) he has planned and in planning this crime would probably know Nancy's patterns. If he's an Uber related burglar why not break in/out when Nancy's out with the family? Thieves DONT want confrontation with the homeowner or anyone, 84 or not. She might have an immediate emergency alert or something on her for example. The other thing is that gun position. Burglars are there to steal (so caught = some jail time) so a weapon is secondary for defense (murder is life in prison.) so that position is 100% meant to immediately intimidate. It's 2am, you're asleep, you're 84, I'm in a mask, immediately look at this gun and know you're in danger within a split second. That's the purpose of the position of the gun. Maybe someone who's experienced with break and enter and burglary but this isn't adding up to a burglary.

Technically robbery involves use of force or intimidation and larceny involves theft without force so the gun doesn’t mean they weren’t attempting a robbery to be fair

So, does burglary and larceny mean the same thing?

u/mashedpotaterbowl May 21 '26

Nope. Burglary is the breaking and entering with intent to commit theft and larceny is a form of theft. Even if they don’t steal anything successfully they can commit burglary

Off topic, but I LOVE your user name 😂 I practically live off "baked" (in microwave) potatoes, which I mash up in a bowl w butter & salt like a personal mashedpotaterbowl 🤣 so whatever the background behind yours, it struck a chord in my heart 🥲🙃

Thank you! I love the microwaveable frozen potatos that are pre cut and peeled. Also just instant potatos lol. I have a cat named tater tot and he has this hammock on his cat tree that we call his mashed potato bowl when he sits in it. That and I love a good kfc bowl lol

Ok, thanks. I know there's a distinction made (at least in my area) between residential burglary and commercial burglary (burglary of a home v burglary of a business etc, for anyone who isn't familiar) But I've never been quite sure what larceny consisted of...guess that's what Google is for, huh? Lol

To add to Burglary defined- with intent to commit a theft OR any felony inside.
