Useful facts for Time Sinks

In my daily dose of “Qué tal Fernanda” (a national radio emission broadcasted by Imagen). I heard some interesting facts from the Federal Investigation Agency, AFI (the Mexican FBI, for its initials in Spanish) very useful to the subject. They were in Spanish, but since I started this topic in English I will continue this way

“85% of burglaries take place in horizontal condominiums (‘cotos’)”
“Close to 90% of kidnappings come for someone from the inside i.e. underpaid workers, unhappy maids or butlers, etc.”

It means that living outside these concealed places is actually safer. Go on, by yourself a dog or better: adopt one! It also means beware of whom are you hiring to take care of your non-material more valuable goods.

Is living in a “coto” safer than living outside? Can we trust private security? Do we need private security?
