Both customs struck me on first blush as asking for trouble.
It burglar types knew that neighbors in TV don't report suspicious cars in neighbors driveways, that would seem to make burglary easier to pull off. Likewise when neighbors don't think twice about seeing strangers driving through neighborhoods loading their vehicles with other people's stuff.
As I said, that was my first reaction. I temper it with the knowledge that crime in TV is low. Still, leading not into temptation feels more comfortable to me.

I do not think you can broad brush TV and say everyone parks in their neighbors driveway. Assuming it is a custom is assuming too much.
