and you would blame your neighbour for being burgled for not having a dog?

No LT but then again my neighbour isn't likely to be arrested for not looking after their house properly either

I would 'blame' my neighbour for being burgled if they had gone out for hours, left their front door wide open along with all their windows. Insurance companies would too oddly enough.

Edit. Should maybe clarify my use of 'blame' here. It would be the fault of the burglar for stealing. But, the homeowners made it easy. All of this is kind of besides the point though as I don't believe an abductor existed.
