Years ago, I lived in a typically seedy student apartment in a typically
seedy neighborhood. At night, you could almost always see the glow of a
cigarette in a darkened upper window across the way. Word was that the old
guy there was somehow "connected," and we never had the usual petty
crime/vandalism.
I assume you mean connected to the police, rather than the criminal
under-belly?
Having lived in a similar situation the latter is probably more
effective. The "connected" doesn't want the police snooping around
on any excuse. It's along the lines of Not having a Dump on your own
doorstep.

You may be right, but I'd rather not live in that sort of road.
You'd be terrified to park in the wrong spot.
