Naturally, it is terrible that a lawn worker went into someone's home and stole from them.
The home owners left a door unlocked! You cannot do that anywhere. It does not matter if you are living in a retirement community of 90,000 people or a little town of 600. There are always going to be some no-goodniks around who will steal.
Home owners have to use common sense and too many don't.
I had Massey Pest out for the annual termite inspection the other day. The inspector (I am sure he was an honest man) said he would just look around the inside of the house for termite signs and I did not have to go with him while he inspected. I am not going to let any worker go around without me and I said it was no trouble and that I would like to watch to see what he was looking for. I accompanied him. No problem of course.
Just use common sense about things and your chances of being a victim are a lot less.
