If you think stalking is more common than theft then you must live in a very, very low crime area.

I didn't say it's more common, but it's FAR more serious.

Theft is more common. Each instance of stalking does more damage. I haven't the faintest clue how I should weigh the cost against the benefit here, but I certainly don't like how the CEO here is blatantly attempting to downplay the stalking-enabling-externality their theft prevention device has.

Social projection is far more common than theft
