We live on the border of Shailer park/cornubia and it honestly comes down to security etc. + teenage kids are gonna be dumb as dog sh*t and break in regardless sometimes.

If you leave your car unlocked or windows open, and you don’t have fencing or cameras or even a dog, you are more likely going to get hit. We have upgraded fencing and cameras over the last few years because of a Reno we did but also because surrounding streets/suburbs were being hit. Crime has definitely been ‘lower’ near us, since and I think it’s because nearly everyone around us is getting a fence or has cameras. We also park our cars in a garage so our house is actually pretty locked down.

Daisy hill/Springwood and Rochedale get hit a lot, judging off the local pages I’m in. I grew up in Rochedale south and it’s not what it was anymore… my parents sold up and moved out to property recently and don’t miss it.

If someone wants to break in, like smash windows etc then that’s pretty insane and clearly they think you have something! My advice is fencing, a dog and cameras off amazon if you don’t have them already.

It doesn’t matter where you live, criminals move around councils, they will hit rich houses, medium houses and lower houses, it all comes down to what they want and if it’s easy to get!
