ok, you say that it's a nice neighborhood. but you also say that his cousin has been known to deal drugs. Which means that some members of the family are "shady" and by association probably know other shady people. Maybe cousin Sam has the same bad habit of other drug heads - he likes to steal from his family to support his habit.
So since Cousin Sam has already broken into Grandma's house and stolen her TV, the other member's of the family decided to be proactive and make their homes less attractive to Cousin Sam and his loser buddies? And, by extension, that makes his neighbor's homes less attractive to Cousin Sam.
Lots of people have lost their jobs (esp in this economy) and have moved back in with parents or relatives. Disney is a very service oriented employer. I know, hubby and I both worked for WDW in Orlando. When less people take vacations, then people lose their jobs. Even though his mother is employed, maybe her employer has cut back on pay, or benefits, or charges more for insurance than they did before. So her money is tighter than it was before.
As others have said, 50' is not very far at all.
