Never said it would protect your shit, just that it likely would be better in the long run for everyone involved. Its not an easy problem to solve but I dont think we need to treat people poorly because of it.

Just because I don’t trust those around me and use cameras doesn’t mean I treat people poorly. I am very respectful to the people who live and work around me, but that doesn’t mean I trust them not to take something that isn’t theirs.

Lack of trust does not equal disrespect, it just means I’ve seen the true side of a lot of people and don’t wish to let them take advantage of the kind of naivety that you display here.

I understand if its just not possible to assume the financial risk though

It’s not that I’m unable to assume the risk, I’m unwilling to be taken advantage of.
