And from a homeowner's perspective, that's the way it should be.

You missed my point. If you live in an area where there are a lot of people who yearn for oxycontin, you need to re-evaluate your life and figure out why you live in an area there are such problems. I'm not saying my hometown doesn't have this problem, but I am saying it's not such a huge problem the the general population here doesn't live in fear of their house being broken into.
I'm forty-four years old and not once have I ever had my house or car broken into, nor do I feel the need to fortify my house with assault rifles. I have locks on the door and an alarm system and my local police has a response time of less than a minute or so.
If you feel you need to protect fear into potential criminals to prevent them from breaking into your house, then you've already failed.
