This assumes that most users of Nextdoor or have video cameras dotting their house are interested in protecting kids. Nextdoor is a cesspool of racism, and everyone I know who has "security" cameras is afraid of people stealing their stuff. Despite crime in our area being at an all time low and property theft very uncommon.

I suspect more has been spent on anti-theft for houses than total thefts.

Places where theft really IS common don’t put up cameras (they’d get stolen), they put up bars.
