I watch in horror as people on NextDoor clamor for MOAR video surveillance because so-and-so's house got egged or someone else got ding dong ditch doorbelled, or whatever they call it. So ridiculous. People have become coddled little wimps who can't take care of themselves.

NOTE: Pretty sure that last sentence is on a PPT slide somewhere at Langley.
