What is a prowler?

A prowler is a person who moves stealthily or secretly in order to commit a crime, typically burglary or theft. Prowlers often operate at night and target homes or businesses when they are unoccupied. They may attempt to break in through windows or doors, or search for unlocked entrances. Prowlers are usually looking for valuables or items they can steal and sell for a profit. As such, it is important for individuals and communities to take precautions to protect their property and deter prowlers, such as installing security cameras, locks, and alarm systems.
