Sometimes it veers towards the absurd - after a bit of a panic about potential break ins, some of the lads were talking about night patrols after a fella was spotted slinking around at 3am. Turned out he was a pizza delivery guy. But for the most part it's good value for money when you tune out the nutty stuff.

New builds have really high quality steel framed doors with multiple locking points, the rubber seals of windows are enclosed and not easy to take out, etc etc. So burglars have taken to just smashing in an entire window. Saw a video of it in another estate (think it might be somewhere in this thread) and it happened to someone in my own estate. What they're banking on is really slow reaction times by police even if you have a monitored alarm, and no reaction time from neighbors via a whatsapp group or similar. And sadly, I think they're on the correct side of that bet.
GARDAÍ ARE INVESTIGATING multiple burglary incidents in the Dublin 15 area believed to be carried out by the same gang. A number of homes in the Castleknock area Dublin were targeted on New Year’s Eve while homes around wider area were also hit in the first days of 2020. Gardaí believe that the same criminal gang, believed to be from Eastern Europe, have been carrying out the crimes.
