I don't think it matters anymore,if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time of night or day it could happen too you,just because you live in a up-market area means nothing..imho..willair,,As I said somewhere above my property strategy is to always buy something I would be happy to live in myself - this has many benefits to me.
If it goes up great, if its positively geared great, if it stays flat or goes down and is negatively geared then I can always use it for my family.
