I agree with you on this. Most were simply criminals, plain and simple. Who would mistake a house where a family with kids clearly live for an estate sale? There were likely a few who had no idea and just went along, the world is filled with suckers ... but most, at least those 'running' off, as you say, knew what was going on and just took advantage.

I had read that there were some things on the lawn, but I assumed most of the picture was caused by the looters.
Their confusion is only believable until they step inside the house and see a lived in space with multiple occupied bedrooms, and nobody representing the estate to distribute?
An unlocked door doesn't mean anything to me, it's not that unusual in most places I've lived. I leave my door unlocked in Vancouver sometimes. But I won't hesitate to attack anyone I find inside when I come home, because I think only a criminal would just walk inside someones house.
There were descriptions of people running away with stuff, and at least one woman telling the people to put the stuff back.
I don't buy it. I think they were thieves grasping at any excuse.
