I trust that he has a philosophy of "don't poop where you live". IDK why, I'm probably naive. I've got a bunch of 20lb propane tanks in my unlocked wood shed, snow tires, piles of junk that would be attractive to the meth smoking population.

I think that's what criminals really take away, your feeling of security. If you have to lock your gate constantly, you've been violated.

In this county, you have to be careful with scrap. A few of my neighbors have had their scrap piles stolen. There's a lot of unemployed people willing to do whatever they can to get by.
