I still understand "temporal" as "related to time", but "temporal displacement" gets to that scifi range.

Oh, yeah, that does make sense, it just sounded like you can avoid having your stereo stolen, but your car might end up in yesterday.

Well homes are more likely to be empty when people are in school or work than when they are sleeping, so break-ins to private properties might be more common at day time. Then all the white collar crime, tax frauds, bribes and such sound like day time activities. Picking pockets or scamming tourists is not really possible when there are no tourists, and your price is better if someone else did not get them already, so also mostly day time, unless operating in bars and clubs. Domestic violence, likely mostly after work evening time. Sure there are things like smuggling over land borders that might be easier at dark, but there are also lots of types that would be lot more likely at day time. Can't know without actual numbers though.

On the other side of the coin, you can't ever do today again, either.
