4. In my neighborhood there are no streetlights and no one keeps security lights on at night.

We feel security lights help crooks see what's going on and helps them avoid detection. No one on our street has ever had a break-in. But I googled this, and I see there are differing opinions on the efficacy of security lights. One strategy is to employ motion-activated lights.
