Really? I am 20 mi from town and 4mi from closest neighbor but a church is 3mi up the road and has had the cats stolen off of their bus twice. Sitting in a well lighted car port. Thieves and drugs are in the country also. But those 2 big white dogs do a pretty good job of keeping thieves at bay here, no market for drugs here either.
Different areas. We use to and will in the future encounter thieves who cruise though here to doings, the lakes etc, in the summer and come back to take advantage of the opportunities. Our Church is rural too, and a few years ago it became necessary for some Church members to carry, watch the doors and the parking lots during services. I don't remember how many vehicles were broken into. Around here Law Enforcement are neighbors and friends and a call is answered almost immediately. There is always someone home here otherwise we might be victims as twice our Leo and the Sheriff caught burglars in the act before we bought the place. As to staling the cats the sawsall will make some noise, the dogs the dogs already letting the world know.
