I'm not getting your analogy. Are you saying the police won't attend an emergency call in theses areas? Yes or no? Simple question.Just who do you think the rozzers are, Nosey? Robocop?
If the police do not bother coming down your Wisteria Lane idyll if a wrong 'un breaks into your shed, why do you think they'll go somewhere a bit less "welcoming", unless the world's about to end?
They sent more personell (initially) when we had our shed robbed, than when we were burgled.
