Guaranteed burglary

In NZ, if you called the police to report a burglary, they never come to your house. They are too busy on the road operating mobile speed cameras earning revenue for the gomen. Some Kiwis pay security firms to install house alarms. I refuse to do this for one simple reason. From the start, you have to folk out $2,300 for the installation of the alarm which in my opinion is almost like a guaranteed burglary of your property worth $2,300. There are other payments eg if you are away on holidays and your alarm goes, you pay them $50 per visit to your house to check and then turn off the alarm. That is just in case the noise bothers your neighbours and they throw a brick through your front window. That could cost more than $50!
