I'm forty-four years old and not once have I ever had my house or car broken into, nor do I feel the need to fortify my house with assault rifles. I have locks on the door and an alarm system and my local police has a response time of less than a minute or so.
If you feel you need to protect fear into potential criminals to prevent them from breaking into your house, then you've already failed.

I live in a pretty nice neighborhood actually and what I described isn't a 365 day 24/7 problem, but it's a big problem.
The punk of which I speak has in fact been caught several times, but his family keeps bailing his worthless ass out. And with the court backlog being what it is, it's always a year or more before shitheads like him are finally incarcerated for their second or third offense (the first offenses never seem to count).
Then.. by the time that whole charade plays out, you have a carbon copy, or three, of the same piece-of-shit roaming the same fucking neighborhoods.
It's a never ending cycle.
Were it not for the thieve's fear of eating a bullet, the whole situation would be a hundred times worse and homeowners insurance would be literally unobtainable.
Then again, maybe things are different in California ;)
