It’s a bit deeper than “things”
Criminology studies have proven some sort of “broken window” effect which I’ve heard of many times but can’t explain that well. Basically, crimes like vandalism and theft encourage more crime in any particular area. The “broken window” sort of de-sensitizes the population and normalizes crime to potential future criminals
There’s also the psychological effect of living in an area with lots of theft or especially witnessing it. Do you think if you happened to be in one of those stores you would be able to pop some headphones in and skip by the looting without a care in the world? Or would you be afraid, not knowing if this was some junkie psycho who might decide they won’t want witnesses
Not even counting the inconvenience of losing jobs when the stores close down, or having to drive far out of one’s way to shop, people in those communities don’t deserve to be living in fear on a day to day basis

This is where private security comes in - passing on the cost to the paying customers who will return (enjoying the safety).
As for the other - always be ready especially when it is your responsibility for your well being and the loved ones who count on you.
