Increasing Burglaries in HPP

[AlohaSteven]

OK,folks.What's up with the most burglaries I am reading here happening in HPP? More people with nice stuff live there or it's mostly HPPweb here?

My sense is part of the reason for burglaries in HPP is the grid system of 125 miles in roads. The grid makes it easy for thieves to cruise around looking for targets of opportunity and then take off swiftly to disappear after hitting a place. Take a look:

My sense is the average home in HPP is actually more modest than many located elsewhere on the island yet (based on arrest records) thieves will drive from elsewhere to steal in HPP, so there has to be something drawing them.

All that said, imho the ultimate bottom line on reasons for burglaries in HPP is not really the grid of roads but rather is all the people in HPP who do not bestir themselves to get off their butts and participate with Neighborhood Watch. Areas in HPP with organized Neighborhood Watch block watches have far fewer problems than those which do not. To my mind complaining about burglaries in HPP yet not participating with Neighborhood Watch is rather like complaining about the outcome of an election without having bothered to vote. Many politicians love folks who do not bother to vote, just as many thieves love folks who do not bother to participate with Neighborhood Watch.
