My other brother, the one who works for the sheriff's dept, said that when the curfew was lifted before everyone returned who had evacuated because of Dennis, there was a rash of burglaries in those unoccupied homes; between 30 and 40 burglaries. Actually a real incentive for some not to evacuate in the future. This is in part because people have to travel so far now to evacuate, especially along the MS Gulf Coast. Hotel rooms in Hattiesburg, Jackson, and Montgomery are long gone by the time these folks have to evacuate.
