Yes. I saw an interview with a burglar in the UK. He said he preferred properties with alarms and other security features because they were much more likely to have valuables worth stealing. And, as he pointed out, nobody cares about an alarm going off in a city. It just gets ignored.

Here we live in a surveillance state where the cops don’t arrest anyone unless they have money to steal. Worst of three worlds.
