Reply to comment by Ouchyhurthurt in TIL - Contrary of what everybody thinks, if you park your car at a dark spot at night, the chances of theft are smaller, because thieves don't like to use lights. by JosZo
I think it’s a misinterpretation of a finding
What they found was, turning off the street lights at night on a street decreased break-ins on that street.
But break-ins on adjacent streets increased (that left their lights on). And who knows what it did to other crimes / accidents.
Basically they went somewhere else and continued on their merry way
