The best way to counter "but who will help you when your house gets robbed????" hysteria is with anecdotes about cops not doing shit to investigate (non-corporate) property crime. The people who say that sort of thing reason by anecdote anyway, and if they try to dig up statistics about crime they'll find stuff like a decades-long trend towards less crime and terrible closure rates for just about all crimes.
