Visit the "Old Section Nine" estate in Thika.
Most houses there do not have gates and those that do, never close them. Theft is virtually unheard of. This has been the status for as long as I can remember...and my memory of the estate goes back to the mid-1970s.
BTW: High fences and strong metal gates have never stopped thieves from entering a compound! I also don't understand why people believe they have to barricade themselves in what become death traps during a fire!
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.
