When I moved here 30+years ago, it was a "rough" neighborhood. I needed a crane to move several of my large machines and luckily there was a crane company owner just a little ways down PCH (highway 1) from me. So he ends up doing a great job "landing" my big parallelized CNC mills, then he pulls me aside and explains how thief's, gangbanger hoods, tweekers, and scumbags are dealt with in the neighborhood.
He says....
"Catch them in the act! Shoot them dead! Come over and borrow my backhoe!" AND HE WAS DEAD SERIOUS!
And the hilarious thing is.... I am now surrounded by MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR ESTATES
