Sorry for your shitty event - my family and I have had a couple of cars stolen in the past and it's not a good feeling.

The police get fuck-all funding, and there's no police here at night to watch the place, which means it's a criminal candy store.

Especially in low population areas, I don't think it's practical to have the police watch everything - that's a lot of police. I'm not keen on a tech-based surveillance state either. Somehow in the past people were more honest - if NZ wants to move back to that I think societal causes of crime need to be addressed, rather than emulating the US, with steadily worsening inequality and private prisons.
