Not long ago we lived in a town with high levels of unemployment and generational poverty; vandalism, litter and theft were par for the course. Our letter box was bent from various attempts to dislodge it, a neighbor could never keep all of the palings on his fence, bottles/cans thrown into our yard from passers-by, people fighting on the nature strip, etc. (Many phone calls to the police). We installed a security system after a theif broke into a few of our neighbours houses. On two other occasions attempted break-ins were thwarted either by us or our dog.
For the last 18 months we've lived in a good area of a less disadvantaged town and I can report just one broken bottle on the driveway. We're very happy with the move.
