Well, I consider that I live in a safe area compared to other regions. My village is very small and we know very well each other but it is true than the fact of being small, makes it a target for thieves.
As my mates commented, some years ago the security in our places, or even in our country, was greater but, nowadays, I think that people don't feel comfortable in terms of security in their homes. Perhaps more and more home cases of home burglary are being heard about.
