However, the prevalence and advancement of security measures and tech in the latter areas has pushed savvy thieves out to the sticks a lot more now (to avoid all the locked doors, cameras, alarms, etc.). There is also another component: the rise of meth and the benefits/desirability that rural locales provide for cooking it...which leads to more criminal elements living in/transiting those rural locales.

Nope...not in my area.
Lived here for over 50 years and have never seen an incidence of theft.
My house or garage is never locked...no reason to do it.
If a thief wants to steal something...go for it. The consequences are high.
