Seems like a nice neighborhood.
I'm thinking that 5 year old isn't going to be stopped by a measly chain.
5 year olds are like Houdini. If he wants out, he's getting out.

A friend of ours has a boy that's 5. He woke up early, snuck out to bring the neighbor a banana?
Parents and neighbor got him on the doorbell camera.

I would crawl thru glass for Chick Fil A for sure.

That boy needed a chicken biscuit and momma and daddy had the door locked with some weird noises coming from behind the door. Good thing he didn't try that on a Sunday.

I did the same kind of thing when I was five. My sister was watching me. Don't remember what happened. But the story is I was hauling arse on my big wheel down a four lane road. The cops got behind me and just followed me until I got to my house. This was in the 70's.

Kids are sneakier than you expect. My oldest was 3 years old and figured out to unlock his window, unlatched the sides, pull it down, and then push out the screen and climb out and go for a walk at 9 o'clock at night.
When the cops showed up at my house we had no idea he had snuck out. Little punk has been in the back of a police car before his 4th birthday. It's funny now but scary at the time. That window also got bolted shut, never to open again.

Sort of the same. When I was five (mid 1970s) I lived in Metarie. I used to take my dollar allowance or whatever change I could scrape up from around the house and would walk to a Time Saver store to buy a candy bar or Icee by myself. (not sure if Time Savers are still around... though I remember TulaneLSU made a nice tribute thread to them a couple years or so ago)
I can't remember exactly how far away it was. If I had to guess it was a five minute walk down the length of a long apartment complex, then turning down a partially developed road for a block or two.
Kids could free-range back then.
Edit to add: as i did not have cops in hot pursuit as I fled on my Big Wheel, my anecdote is not nearly as good as yours.
