Arms race in Beverly Hills

Story here. I do find this amusing, as fear of mass crime comes to the gated communities where crime was seen as a reaction to deprivation and self-defense was seen as uncivilized, if not outright racist.
For years I have told students about making themselves a target and relying on others for security. Those with extravagant jewelry, high-end cars, and gated communities should consider the statement attributed to Willie Sutton, the 1920's through 1950's gangster:
“(Why do you rob banks, Willie?) Because that's where the money is.”
