Burglars are random, I've played sims for several sim years w/o one, then get on when they are elders. Also had them the first night on the lot and any time between, it's just random and, if you alarm the doors and cars, what does it matter except if you don't get them, your sim doesn't get the bad memory.

Maybe if you buy some expensive items, they'll show, as I've seen they go for the good stuff once they're inside.

P.S. Actually, as DarkAmaranth mentions, it's weird how long the bad memory lasts with my simmies, maybe you're better off.

there's also some hacks that increases the chance of getting burglars. I think there might be one at Modthesims.

It took me a long time to get any burglars. they still don't appear often, but they tend to show up when I play with Dina and Nina Caliente's lot.

RicanStarz - as you can see people have answered your question, there is no need to start a new help thread.

You can locate "unlocked" outfits for the burglar on a number of sites or use cheats to create a sim wearing this outfit.

The burglar is not really a fun visitor to your lot - it is run by the game and shows up for one purpose only - to rob your sims.  I have had one show up and walk around the lot for hours waiting for my sims to go to sleep, even talking to the burglar really doesn't guaruntee the burglar won't steal something and wreck your sim's day.  Other times I have played for a solid year and not seen one.  It is a totally random occurence. In any event, as a general rule, the burglar is about as welcome a visitor as fire or roaches.
