I mean, considering that the house is occupied by only a young, attractive woman and a little girl, their attitude about masked intruders invading their home in the middle of the night is pretty nonchalant, when you think about it.
I agree - Fritzi doesn't seem to have even the most basic idea of home security. Burglars go in and out of their house so often that they bump into each other and have to take a number.
wtf ernie!? he's leaving with the empty glass? so he stood there next to nancy's bed while a child drank an entire pint of water, passed back the glass, meaning it couldn't have been patch black, without it being realized he was a giant man and not aunt fritzi!? ol' eb was hard on the opium for this
Your points are all valid, but Ernie knows better than anyone that all Nancy cared about was getting the water when she wanted it. As she went back to sleep, she pointed out the oil painting in the living room.
Yeah, it's gone. Nancy never liked it. That's why he had to take the glass back to the kitchen, so this couldn't be tied to her.
She imagined herself on a Wanted poster, but deep down, she really was a conniving supervillain. Is still, I guess. (She never shares her thoughts in words, so.)
In old Manhattan ~75 yrs ago, My Grandmother had a friend who was a professional thief. He broke into an apartment and knocked the tenant out with a sap. A toddler came walking out of a bedroom. He stayed with the toddler until the man woke up so he wouldn't get into mischief. Led to his arrest.

That was one of Nancy's "uncles".
That's what Aunt Fritzi was telling Nancy, anyway.
Oh…I forget. Back then, the words were interchangeable.
