So sorry for all those who were broken into.Unfortunately this has gone on as long as I can remember......mostly bored teenagers,since real crooks know there is not much of value in island homes and camps.We are lucky to live in an area with very little crime.Violent crimes against strangers are almost unheard of and there is not a street in the lakes region that I wouldn't walk on in the wee hours.Most serious crimes are crimes of passion or drug related among people who are known to each other.
I still rarely lock my truck or home unless I plan on being gone for a long time.
I've had my business broken into 4 times in a 20 year period and fortunately,thanks to security camera's and good work by the Moultonborough P.D.,the bad guys (kids) have been apprehended.
Don't let a bad experience spoil your enjoyment of the area...it's still one of the best places to live and vacation in America.
