7. because news reports never do

and no, they don't unravel. The cops don't give details of anything under investigation because facts are not known and it impedes the investigation.
When ideologues start speculating and creating narratives, those always unravel when the facts come out.

Here, the media was at least responsible enough to only report what they are given.
How is that a red flag? Is it a high crime area? If so, it may not be unusual in that area. Are there rumors that the occupant has a big old coin collection that is worth stealing? That might come out in the investigation, and really isn't relevant. The only thing legally relevant is what happened in that few seconds.
