Based on what's being described ("career criminals") it doesn't seem like that would be a good deterrence.

A security guard is going to be looking out for their own safety and well-being before any property they're guarding. What do you think is gonna happen if armed criminals show up against a lone guard being paid $35 a night...?

I would certainly hope they would be looking out for their own safety and well-being, no matter what they’re being paid
