A lot of people will be travelling to see there family memebers and they will like to show of their wealth.

Imagine a poor man who wants to show of going to his village, your guess is as good as mine, stealing may just be the option he has.

Simple: because it is the END of the year. The MBA months are known for negative happenings and the Christmas period is the boiling point. There is always a spiritual battle that characterizes the conclusion of any period, its this same reason the END TIME is characterized by evil of all kinds.
The Bible tells us why: "But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short. " Rev 12:12
The forces of evil to influence is always more intense at the verge of the end because the devil is playing his "injury time".
At the beginning of the chapter where David committed adultery and murder, the story started thus "And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle,"(2 Sam 11:1) something came over David that year end(or springtime as some translations have it referring to d end of the Jewish year) before he recovered he has killed hid neighbour and taken his wife
The word translated as “kings” in the KJV of 2nd Sam 11:1 is transliterated “e-mal·äk’-im,” meaning “the messengers”(angels and demons are messangers of good and evil respectively).
So the end of the year is this period that principalities go to war both to recover grounds they have lost in the course of the year or to prepare the platform for the coming year.

My advice is that you don't allow yourself to be used of the devil this year end. Rather be on the Lord's side. The Bible says "do not be overcome with evil, rather overcome evil with good"Rom 12:21 Do something good in your community that they will never forget.
