Two questions. How valuable are computers to a thief? My Dad's old office had like literally $3k computers that got stolen, they ended up tracking em down and they were sold for like $40!

Computers for those in the know-how are VERY valuable. Not for the hardware themselves, but by the bank records people keep on them. For the average theif it's worth generally less than the weight of carrying them out.

The other question is about dogs, how are thiefs not worried about dogs? Not only do they bark but there's a decent chance the dog could inflict serious injury on the thief. So do thiefs avoid houses with dogs altogether? Or do they kill them? Or can they actually just ignore them most of the time?

Mace or a cattle prod takes care of the bothersome ones. Remember, they dont give a shit about animal rights. And if they are the type to attack, that means the neighbors are plenty used to trying to ignore their endless barking, so you'd be nothing new. Remember, if they're unfriendly to you chances are they're unfriendly to every jogger running by, every kid playing next door.
Killing a dog is not unheard of, but not something very often. You can use a gun (very noisy), a knife (which means getting in very close to their teeth), or poison (too slow).
More often is when they come accross a friendly dog that's a pure breed is simply loading it into the truck with them. They can then breed it, with some bringing in $1,500/puppy, sell it, or simply keep it as a companion.
