Who else /retarded parents/ here?
She won't even file a Police Report. Sure, it's $20 glasses and theres no point, but just her mindset is what upsets me.
She blew all this money on nice stuff for herself and our house, but she doesnt buy anything to protect it.
Motion lights don't work, no fence, 60 year old locks, climbable shit in the backyard, big screen door in the back, no security system, no cameras, nothing.

Why don't you pay for the installation?

All I literally have to do is get on a ladder, drill a few holes outside, and wire everything internally.
A day project at best - I don't regularly use powertools and would have to move plenty of things within a few rooms.
Moms house though - "YOU CANT DO ANYTHING UNLESS I SAY SO"
Such is life living in NYC. Rent is so high and I don't make enough to move out.

Some people just care more about themselves than others.

I'm from Western Kentucky and yeah it seems pretty chill out here too. But in a region with high crime like NYC they can easily be essential.

Eastern Kentucky here and you gotta set up security systems there's way to many pill junkies in the area.
At least put an ADT security sign in the front yard so you cant pretend to have it, scaring away any potential robbers. Also recommend a Beware of Dog sign, I heard it scares away a lot of robbers

None of that shit is really effective if somebody really wants to take your shit, and paying for a guard is clearly beyond her budget. Hell, having noticeable security only tells thiefs that there is something worth protecting inside.
