The front door, ground floor windows and side walkway has a clear line of sight from the street making this house a less appealing target.
The landscaping has grown to the point where the front door, some ground floor windows and side entrance is completely hidden from passers by, neighbours and police patrols from the street. This is a condition preferred by burglars.
