I think some people are asking because they have heard of the looting and robbers after the storm... and when a lot of people are out of work and have no income it becomes more of an issue... Of course everyone should take precautions, especially those that are in private homes... But asking the question is very very legit.... Reality is hard but it is reality....It would be great if we could rely on the police, So hopefully everyone can be safe. but take all precautions.
