I wouldn't worry - suggest looking for very thin suspicious looking characters who might try and squeeze through the door gaps......

Probably, since the good old Defender uses HiTag2.

Perhaps all the villains will be so busy stealing VWs and Skodas that they'll lose interest in Defenders.

The remote control range on defenders is pretty poor ... They'd need to be stood next to you

There's a lot to be said for punishment, deterrents, and effective policing, but they were phased out long ago.
