I've got insurance on everything of value that we own and have never given much thought about thieves/burglars. On the other hand, we have always lived in relative low crime areas. I know "it" happens everywhere but I think you are more sensitive to crime if "it" has happen to you or if you have lived in a crime prone area. Those of us of us that grew up in a small Midwest town in the 50's are probably too naive regarding crime. Somebody took a chair off our front porch one time and I can still remember what my mom said, "well, I guess they needed it worse than we did.". It was my uncle Bill----he had borrowed it! Things are different today----we live in a violent world. It pays to be vigilant----I don't leave my key in my golf cart ---- but if someone needs it worse than I do----they can have it. We are lucky to live in TV where overall there is little crime.
