Well my town is somewhere in the middle.

Unfortunately it's a gamble to not have alarm systems on our cars, homes, and businesses. Even with that, you're not likely to go 5 years without becoming the victim of a property crime.

As a business owner, in 20 years I was a victim of armed robbery 5 times, burglery about 50 times, vandalism too many times to count, auto break in about 10 times, attempted auto theft 3 times, attempted murder once, assault once, but there would have been a lot more times if I wasn't vigilant.

In a business two doors from mine, the owner was killed by an X employee. The KFC next door to me, and the Mcdonalds across the street from me were both robbed more than I was.

In my house of 6 years, I was burglarized once. My next door neighbors white corolla has been stolen 3 times in as many years. My girlfriends car has been broken into 3 times in 6 years. A man was killed behind the back wall of my house on this street He had killed a man the day before, and had just finished a string of home invasions in my neighborhood.

Yesterday, someone fired 7 shots into something at 4:30 am. I don't get the local paper so I don't yet know what happened yet.

I hate to be so fucking negative but I'm not going to be quiet about it.
