All property crime crosses the acceptable social contract and has the opportunity to become violent crime. I don’t see the issue with comparing them: if my property isn’t safe and I’ll be battered if I defend it, that’s the same signal.

It's an issue because it misrepresents the rate at which property crimes actually precede or are coincident with violent crime.
It also belies the reality that attempting to protect valuables is likelier than alternative action to turn a property crime into a violent crime.
