We should probably start locking our camper door at night :0
When we can't get away, we sleep in our fiver parked behind our side gate, beside our house. We lock the door at night and keep our cell phone and dogs with us. Anyone can jump the fence and do something stupid. Are we paranoid? No. Are we cautious, yes.
One persons cautious or prepared is another persons paranoid. Being a backpacker, one doesn't get more boondocking than that. We sleep on the ground without a tent.
You're right about one doesn't get more boondocking that sleeping on the ground in a tent, but my description compared to yours is like what Jumbo_Jet said - I would not EVER dry camp behind a liquor store in South Chicago, but I would dry camp in the Ozark National Forest in Arkansas without much apprehension - my neighborhood is not behind a liquor store in Chicago but it is in a suburban area and cars in our neighborhood have been broken into.
