The rest of my family were in the room next to mine.  I lived on a farm
that was way out in the boonies, and the house is about a mile from the nearest road.
Nobody comes around unless they come through a driveway or sneak thru
the mile long trek thru the vineyard.  Off duty police officer?
No way.  As for neighbors and folks, they are equally far away.  When
they notice something, they always call first.  Out this far away,
everyone always deals with trouble themselves, if you wait for the police
to get there, your throat would be slit before they got in the driveway.

Life in rural areas tends to be a lot different than in urban ones...
