In today’s America, people will steal anything that isn’t bolted down. And to think, within the lifetimes of many of us, Americans didn’t lock their doors, they left their car keys in their cars, kids left their bicycles outside, etc. Our country is going down the tubes so quickly.
I think that much depends on the location. We have about 6,000 people in our town, with a very low incidence of crime. It seems that the higher the population density, the higher the crime rate.
