If you have a stand alone house, then a fire in the house next door won't affect you. So your susceptibility to such events is entirely under your control.

Except if there's a forest nearby...

And breaking and entering is much more common in a house than on the 5th floor of an apartment building.

Is it? I would have thought that the numbers more likely trended in the other direction, with B&E in appartments being higher than in Houses.

Maybe for apartments in general, but for 5th floor apartments with interphone+digicode protection in a wealthy neighborhood (in Paris, this also means quite a few elder people that will check when unknown people get into the apartment of someone who is on vacation)...
