Default Re: Secure Gated Community
Right on, Muncle, anyone who thinks this is a gated community is kidding himself. The gates are just a nuisance.
BTW, I have read studies indicating the burglary rate in gated communities is the same as for non gated. Keep in mind, gated communities are where th $$ are.
I don't know of any community where it is safe to leave doors unlocked. The burglaries I am aware of happened where doors/windows were left unlocked. Screens are no deterrent.
