Back when I worked for Data I/O, the wife of the CEO was kidnapped and held for ransom.

There was a home invasion a couple blocks away.

Lots of people prefer to keep a low profile and not attract these sorts of crimes.

I mean yes, if you can imagine a crime, surely it has happened in a nation of 350 million people. I think my point stands that it's an extremely rare crime, that's hard to commit, harder to cash in on, and harder still to get away with.
