Cash was taken.

From the room which was ransacked? If so, this would change my assessment of that aspect of the staging issue.

went back into the victim's room, locked the door, and exited through the window. >Therefore, even if the window was broken from the inside

It seems you are under the impression that the ransacking and broken window were in the victim's bedroom. As far as I know, that's incorrect.

Regardless of whether a break-in was actually staged (I don't care), have you ever had your home burgled? I have; they took a few dollars worth of laundry quarters in plain sight, rummaged through some random areas (some drawers, shelves, under the bed, and neglected to take anything else, including electronics, cheap jewelry, and a few hundred dollars cash in a desk drawer.

Never (as far as I know).
