It seems obvious that this is the reason. This is what Western countries were like in the 1950s. Everyone in Europe who remembers that time, says that you could leave your bike unlocked and no one would steal it. Now? You can put 3 locks on it and they'll still steal it.
Immigration played a major factor in the destruction of Western culture, but it's not the only thing. 1968 also played a large role.
My grandfather lived in a small town in the 60s/70s and had a gun stolen. It was a huge shock because it was the kind of society where no one locked their doors. The thief was some bad boy my aunt was dating. Some things never change.
Not judging, but I honestly cannot imagine not locking your doors in any society. The idea that just anyone can walk in - even if they never do - would drive me crazy.
How would high gun ownership help you against someone sneaking into your home and holding you at gunpoint - before you get the chance to get your gun? Of course, this question is theoretical, because obviously this did not happen in those areas.

The past really is another country.
Live in a place with both high gun ownership and supportive and functional law enforcement.
The druggies know to only steal from each other because if the homeowner doesn't get them the cops will.
