Kate MossKate MossForget modelling, partying and all that biz.

Kate Moss' latest role is defending the public at large.

Albeit unwittingly.

Yup, celeb blue moons come round once in a while, and it seems Kate has just gone and scored one.

Instead of irking her new neighbours with all-night karaoke and whatnot, Kate's actually brought a smile to their faces.

Why?

Well it appears that crime rates in the north London neighbourhood of St John's Wood have taken a plunge since the supermodel recently shacked up in her £8m pad there.

The local paper for the area reports that the constant presence of paparazzi hoping to land a snap of Kate and her friends have unknowingly acted as a major turn-off to any light-fingered types.

Yup, would-be burglars are staying clear of the district, and it's all down to Kate.

Someone's earnt themselves a Neighbourhood Watch badge, we reckon.
