You neglect to mention why we are supposed to perceive a house sitting quietly (maybe even empty) in our neighbourhood as a problem. The real problem is - murder, assaults, rapes, house break-ins, stolen cars and other crimes where personal safety or property is violated. Why are we supposed to make no distinction between victimless crime and real crime ? Can the police explain why we are supposed to forsake all our moral and legal obligations to our neighbours, and trespass and snoop around their yards in order to "Look for the electricity meter in the back to be altered" Inciting this type of behaviour among neighbours does nothing but breed more fear, distrust and violence that is likely to result in more crime.
