Do you ever wonder whether your home security system or “Beware of Dog” sign actually keeps burglars away? We did too. So KGW's investigative team sent letters to 86 inmates currently serving time for burglary in the Oregon Department of Corrections. The inmates were asked to respond anonymously to 17 questions detailing how they broke in, when the crime occurred and what they were looking for.

| About question 2, NRA bumper sticker meant lots of guns inside. Not buying that. At my previous home most neighbors got burglarized, some repeatedly, whereas we did not. We had NRA stickers in several windows. I often carried guns to and from my truck in the driveway as a recreational shooter. I also informed the neighbors to discuss with their kids, an unknown silhouette in the dark was not safe around our house. I assume the local druggies figured a high probability of 'getting stopped' if breaking into our home. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
