Houston has been lucky then if they are just NOW locking their doors. There are a LOT of churches around the country that have been doing that for years.
My parents live in the Phoenix area, and churches there regularly have to lock up their doors when not meeting, store vehicles behind razor-wire, etc. because of thievery by the double-I word. A few churches have even had exposed outdoor copper piping stolen, since the double-I words can sell the copper for scrap.
It’s hot, we move slowly down here.
