and 2) since I live in a rural area I would rather them not break my door/window if they are going to steal from me.

Apparently this is weird.

PS: 23 years in a small town of 3000 people and now 6 years on rural acreage and never had anything stolen from either my vehicles, homes or outbuildings. Last time I had an issue was in the 90's in the SF bay area where I am from originally. Car broken into 3 times in 4 years .......
