burglarized
Had intruders steal
Burglarized is the past tense of burglarize, meaning to illegally enter a building with the intent to steal.
The term is primarily American English; British English prefers burgled from the verb burgle.
Their apartment was burglarized while they were on vacation.
Unlike robbed, which involves direct confrontation, burglarized typically implies the victim was absent during the crime.
