It's not as simple as the abduction solution. That explains the missing child too. Scarpering burglar solution only explains open shutters, not missing-never-to-be-seen-again child.

It is far simpler than any abduction hypothesis - burglaries are common, abductions are extremely rare.

If a burglar opened the shutters and the window and was confronted with a child the burglar would simply go away.

The child was three years old when the intruder lifted her through the window leaving no trace but a space where a child should have been.

If only Gerry had been in his apartment when his child was allegedly abducted. How different this could have been.

There's no real basis for assuming a burglar will become a child abductor, of course;

A burglar turned part of his haul over to police after discovering the video tapes he had taken depicted graphic scenes of child abuse.

Was he a burglar?

Was he a charity collector or known to have been masquerading as one?

Colo. parolee charged with kidnapping, burglary in attempted abduction of Aurora girl
Published November 05, 2013Associated Press

AURORA, COLO. – Prosecutors have filed charges against a man accused of trying to abduct an 8-year-old girl from her bedroom in Aurora, Colo.

Twenty-six-year-old John Stanley Snorsky was charged Tuesday with several counts including kidnapping, burglary and assault.

The attempted abduction happened early in the morning on Oct. 28. According to police, the girl escaped by pinching Snorsky and running away.

Investigators say his DNA was found on the girl's clothing.

Snorsky had been on parole for a burglary conviction. He was arrested the day after the attempted abduction on an unrelated charge and later linked to the kidnapping case.

It's not clear if he has a lawyer.

So were the ones in the links; one Spanish and the other from New Zealand. Thanks to the Spanish burglar a paedophile was arrested. You just can't generalise about these foreigners you know!

In the case you quoted there seems to be no real reason for believing that the object was ever to burgle.

Now a similar UK or Portuguese case ?

And you would know that for a fact - how?

I have no examples of any other cases -  and having made the only point I wanted to make - have no interest in searching.
