We are willing to sacrifice different things. As I live in the middle of nowhere anyone on my door step who intends harm has travelled some distance already. He or she is not just seeing if I will open the door. It is more likely a traveler in need outside of normal cell coverage. Comrades are cheaply gained with minor hospitality around here.
A mile or so away, on the lakeshore, are million dollar homes. My comparative hut, which I am grateful for, would be a curious target for a random invasion
