I certainly understand that you would want as much security as humanly possible. My only point is that there have been stories here all the time about Security Guards who were patrolling and could not prevent a burglary and even the most expensive hotels have an occasional burglary (sometimes and "inside job" and sometimes a person not supposed to be on the property).

I still think you can't stop all the burglaries regardless of the measures taken to prevent them.

I guess that is why some don't get reported because the people are too ashamed to admit it happened to them or shocked when it does happen and there was (what they thought) sufficient security only to learn that it was just an illusion of security.

Again, I respect your feelings and I still think it can happen anywhere at any time.
