Exactly, there's no proof at all either that someone broke in and took her but people are happy to run with that and refer to the McCanns as "loving parents" when they're absolute strangers to them (and to all of us) People talk about odds and what's more likely, ignoring that in actual fact if you're talking odds, it's more likely that the parents were involved than an opportunistic stranger breaking in and snatching her. Not saying that's definitely what happened of course but as you say none of us know because there's no evidence either way (unless you count the dogs of course but I don't believe that is admissible in court)
