You Are NOT Setting a Good Example to Your Children, Barefoot

Hi Scott,
 
You said you want to set an example to your kids by putting your phone, keys and wallet in a bowl at the front door. This is not a good example, given all the crime now – you might as well put them out at the front gate. Place your valuables in the kitchen, as this is the most centrally travelled room in the house. But please not at the front door.

Hi Reg
 
Yes, it sure is dangerous out there.*
 
(*If you listen to Peter Dutton, who seems very angry, and very determined to be very angry.)
 
The problem is that the statistics show that over the last 10 years break-ins have been decreasing.
 
Nationally, the latest figures show that just 2% of households experienced a break-in. This figure has been trending down for a decade and is quite a bit lower than when they started collecting the data in 2008–09, when it was 3.3%.
 
It’s hardly Venezuela, Gonzuela.
 
That being said, if you were one of those 2% you’d understandably be very upset.
 
However, if a violent robber entered my house, I’d prefer it if they quickly found my wallet and the keys to the Toyota from the dish, and then nicked off … instead of playing a game of hide and seek with a machete.
