McKenzie Bagan When to cut losses and pass on bad neighborhood?

So to the add lights to the outside advice.If you do that--be aware on a daily (nightly) basis for the bulbs to be partially unscrewed, knocked out with rocks, or shot out with firearms.They are not wasting effort on doing this for nothing.It's a simple plan ahead for a break-in, (or rapes) to take place in the newly created shadows.Best time to check is just before the lights go on, 45 minutes later may be too late.A rag on a hand shields the heat for even the hottest bulbs to be wiggled loose.Bad guys do this--bad guys are typically armed with firearms.Be careful--it's not a Sunday walk in the park--they don't want you to find their disabled lights.Fix them one night and they will magically be out the next night.Good Luck!
