Nothing to do with being cheap. If your house is less defended than your
neighbours, they will go for you. So you make sure your house is better
defended. You will probably advise your neighbours to do the same - so the
burglaries will then happen on the estate down the road instead. The fact
that you don't know the people on the estate merely disguises that what
you're really doing is not reducing crime but displacing it elsewhere.
