Folks is to broke to rob.
Not in Cecil County MD. During the last five years, and especially since the start of this year, both murders and burglaries have increased significantly. A pregnant woman was murdered two weeks ago by a 14 year old teen. The local paper has news of at least one break every day. Our house was hit last week. The police told us the crime is being committed by addicts and that the courts will only sentence them to rehab, not to jail. Each time they go through the system they get wiser to crime detection and harder to catch.
Or they’re getting too lazy to steal.
