I assume people would be out there working around the clock to get the phone lines back up and therefore see them.

I mean nobody wants to be stuck without emergency services.

Doesn't matter if anyone spotted them. The point is, they wouldn't be able to alert the police right away, giving them ample time to escape with the goods.

Eyewitness accounts only go so far in the court of law. If there's no proof, there's no criminal.

Because it meant they didn't have to up the menace by cutting the phone lines and increasing the rating.

Ironically, they really needed them themselves during the film's events.

Not really..All they had to do was leave.

It's not like Kevin would have hunted them down and continued to torment them.

They don't actually burgal while the lines are down. The reason they realize the mccalisters are actually out of town is when they over hear a phone call.

Plus, only the long-distance service was down. Unless people in the neighborhood were trying to call Texas (and Harry's observations proved a big chunk of people were away on vacation), they might not have noticed because they could still call elsewhere in town.
