One theory is that the robbers might think that those who are rich and with more cash at home would naturally like to stay in tamans that are g&g. Especially more so if they see houses armed to the teeth with security cameras, alarms, grilles, solid gates, dogs etc..tell tale signs that the bugger living within is loaded and scared of being robbed. Hence they take on the 'challenge'/risk for greater rewards. "
Recently in Singapore, there was a security guard caught stealing new credit cards belonging to residents of the condo he was guarding and made use of them to buy goods that he later sold off to pay off loansharks. Gated and Guarded you can have ill intentioned guards in a position to observe your unit and wave you goodbye and then inform his kakis your pattern of movement for their own gains whereas an ungated unit has a random chance of being targetted. All things being equal, I think I rather spend the recurring security fees on beefing up my own unit's security periodically without the knowledge of outsiders view and observations, and have the knowledge that the security level increases regularly through investing the security fees I save from being in a Gated community and not feeling a double whammy of having paid someone to compromise that same security.
think u look like a tai tai driving a kimchi car and that's why he was intrigued by you
