When I was in middle school, our house was burglarized, and then my aunt and grandparents came into the house while it happened. The three men immediately started beating up my grandfather. At the time he must have been about 80 years old. He ended up in the hospital. Not a gated community, but a regular ol middle class neighborhood, and yes we do have a false sense of security, like same thing day in day out and nothing spectacular or scary happens. We didn't even really have anything of value. At the hospital, I was talking to one of the nurses and she asked if the news did a story on us. I said, no why would they care? Now I know, with other current events ongoing.
I have had several families who live in more affluent communites that have had their kids' bikes stolen. Even in a gated community, it happens. Leaving their garages open, their cars unlocked. REally? Lock up your stuff people.
In our neighborhood now, there were several burglaries. We all had a suspicion of who it was. Well that person has since moved out and guess what? No more burglaries. Called the cops several times. They don't give a crap. Just paper work for them.
