most of what police do is after the fact. you're responsible for securing your own property, security guards are a thing everywhere.

Maybe Bulgaria differs from most countries, but security guards seem to be mostly theatre. Private actors are generally very limited in what they can do to secure property, and they're usually required to basically call the police and hope the police show up in time to do something, which is often unlikely in either the countryside or industrial areas.

This. Police are just the clean-up crew who come 20 minutes after, and fill in the paperwork proving that something bad did indeed happen to you, that you can then use for your lawsuit or insurance claim, nothing more.

Unless you're a politician or the billionaire owner of an island, they're not gonna do much more to actually prevent or solve your problem.
