I know, I totally agree. In the neighborhood I live in, houses get broken into all the time. I know this one guy who has a big, fancy "security system", and he's never been robbed. But I think it's just because there's so much other low-hanging fruit.
Besides, most of the people who got robbed were doing stupid things, like assuming that their locked door would actually stop anybody other than them from getting into their house. One guy forgot his key so often, he just never locked his door anymore. They got him real good.
And really if you think about it, the thieves would just learn, evolve, and adapt if we all got security systems. They'd find a way in. Sure, the break-ins would only happen weekly instead of daily, but I don't think that's really a large enough reduction in frequency. And sure, the alarm system would notify the police so they'd be able to get here quicker and maybe apprehend the criminals, but I think the police should just patrol our street 24/7. They should park a police car in front of ever house, then they'd nail these burglars real fast AND we wouldn't even have to call 911.
What I really wish is for that moron on the hill with the fancy security system to just shut up about how beneficial it is. He must be grade "A" stupid to see most of the people who got robbed were asking for it.
