No? It's exaggeration certainly. But I'm one of two properties at the end if a long private road. If it's a car I don't recognize, I'm usually getting texts from the neighbors further up the road already about it. We're on guard because there's been a handful of meth head rural home invasions out here, and at least one time that's exactly what we thwarted with a heated confrontation against some people claiming to be friends of my neighbors who were out of town.
