(3,447 posts)All I need to do is look out my window on a Friday night during the summertime, or maybe read the Police Blotter from my block. Or count the number of times my belongings have been stolen, rifled through, taken from the laundry, or otherwise tampered with. Or the number of times I've heard people walk by, checking my doorknob to see if it was unlocked. Or the people who sit by an outside window, watching down into the darkness hoping to see someone out alone.
I too used to live in a place where I could convince myself the vast majority of people were really nice and kind and just wanted to be good people. But those days are long past, and with it the illusion that many people are anything other than opportunistic animals more often than not.
