As the City of Music is holding at about half a million strong, so we have always had our share of big city crime...& since I inherited my house in one of the nicer sections (where there's always nicer stuff to steal), I also inherited my mother's security system, which we usually only arm when we leave, but with reports of more break-ins & home invasions, we've begun to arm it at night as well...after disabling the motion detector first, so we don't hafta crawl to the bathroom in the middle of the night...
