You are probably right Gracie but you can see from these responses that many people think security is only to deal with existing problems rather than also to prevent things from becoming a problem. This is why many people buy burglar alarms AFTER they are robbed. I am not a big fan of waiting for a problem to develop and harm be done before instituting security. Then again, if the average person was knowledable about security it would put a lot of security professionals out of work. I deal with this mindset of nothing is a problem until the damage is done on a daily basis so I am used to it. No one wants to be inconvenienced or spend money to prevent something that has never happened before. That is why in my industry the Federal government sets the rules. If they did not we would not voluntarily protect against the possibility; only react to that which has already happened but by then it is too late.
It all comes down to the level of acceptable risk we are all willing to take. My mind is haunted by those people who were harmed due to a lack of some extra lighting, video camera or better security in place. YMMV. Hey, I have always been a big city boy do I have seen it all. I am sure that TV is safe.
