Reminds me of this story I read in the about a man pressured by his community's leaders to take down the metal gates and the bulletproof glass in his Harlem NY based liquor store because it made them feel too restricted and hurt their feelings by looking so "ghetto".

Well this store owner was immediately burglarized twice in short order, losing thousands of dollars in cash and merchandise.

You can't make this stuff up.
