As he is an expert burglar himself, this would be quite stupid of him. So it's likely he did it as a joke, as he would have all his really valuable stuff in a safe place, probably elsewhere, so getting robbed would not mean much to him. And maybe also so that his daughter could get in if she ever found out the address.
