Crimes of opportunity do happen and it does not matter where in the world one is. A little common sense is the best prevention.....without even thinking too hard about it.
Isolated incidents get a lot of play in our society with credibility often ignored.

As I just posted, TV and our town rate the same "4" which is the national average. 1 to 10 with 10 being the worst as far as crime in a town.
Where we never had much crime at all years ago.......and people left their front doors open, their keys in the cars.........not so much nowadays.
Jewelry is being taken, whole safes carried out of homes......and so forth.
Usually when the home owners are away. Businesses are also being burglarized with items like computers and such being taken. Much of this is due to the fact that the thieves need money to support their drug habits and are usually youth in their 20's.
p.s. Copper is being stripped out of old buildings and sold for scrap metal value.
Our cops are "on the ball" and make no secret of the fact that it is a problem.
They talk freely in our daily newspaper about the problem.....often. Again, not a secret up here.
Again, drugs are the culprit........the thieves need money to support their habits.
