I suppose it could, but unfortunately, many houses are burgled during the day, when burglers find it easier as people are at work, and it attracts less attention than creeping around at night. it's a sad world some times.
I got my insurance through the post office (they use a lot of companies for the quotes) and the only occupancy question was 'are the premises occupied between 9am and 5pm'. Evenings don't seem to come into it.
