Pete the solar panels do not make the house a target, nor does the population density. Looting occurs in rural areas also, when it is tolerated.

That house with solar panels will be looted in the same order that all the other houses on the street will be looted, and be certain that all the houses will be looted. The "gray man" thing does not work during riot or looting becomes widespread.

One of the aspects of looting is that every structure is systematically searched and looted until some force causes the looting to stop.

Looting only occurs where the fear of retaliation, or fear of use of force, ceases to exist.

What we see in large scale civil unrest is not homes or buildings cherry picked with other houses or structures untouched. Looters usually start at one end of a street and leave the entire street picked over and in flames when they reach the other end.

Usually what stops the activity is the looters come to a definite line which they do not cross due to the danger present. In almost every situation over here there will be a burned out area and then a sudden edge where everything over that edge is untouched.

And what might the danger present be that would stop them crossing the line?
