Their friends break into the houses, then pawn the stolen equipment - then the grass cutters or other workers get a kickback for the information. With riding lawnmowers so available, most TV Landers should be capable of doing their own grass cutting - and whenever possible, other maintenance should be done by trusted retired Villagers. This would cut down on TV Land crime (that DOES exist even though the newspaper deemphasizes it)! And NEVER leave your doors unlocked - the Neighborhood Watch people are useless! Cameras can help.
Reality. If, someone robs your home it is usually an unplanned crime. A ridding mower?
It may be expensive however the criminal was seen escaping on a riding mower is a bit comical. They want, and will take stuff that is easily to sell and small.

Further reality. If, you chose to hit a thief with say a baseball bat, he will get free medical care paid for by your tax money and he will be back on the street before you will.

Where we are and how we got here.
