Signs of the times MAYBE... but political? NO way... I'm as conservative as they come but to say that our property might be at risk due to the political influence is just rubbish... Our wonderful country has progressed at an incredible rate and while prosperity ensues, so does crime.. a small price to pay in my book. If you think about it, those minor issues of having to lock your door create jobs for lots of people... Locksmiths, lock makers, key makers, insurance, law enforcement just to name the obvious ones. Maybe I'm missing the point...
