After I spent a while doing rideshare in a major city, I now believe that suburban people are paranoid weirdos.

      going around the suburbs and stealing only the security cameras would be a good bit

      I'm willing to bet the most valuable things in their house were, ironically, the cameras themselves?

      God, one of my coworkers is like that, she has alerts setup whenever someone so much as walks on their lawn. I've had to talk her down a couple times becuase some delivery guy walked across their lawn to get to their neighbors house, which she thinks is someone casing their house to either rob/burn down/murder them.

      She's genuinely a nice person and pretty lib (which is good for our reactionary small town) but holy shit what suburban mindset does to a mf.
