It seems the recent warnings are as a result of the FBI pulling an old warning off the shelf, not because of any real threat. It's just as imagined as it ever was:
I live in a safe gated neighborhood, with honest and watchful neighbors and I’ve never heard of a theft or break-in here. I still lock my house at night and when I leave.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, but don’t believe I am either.
