Police don't really care in lower income areas and just basically harrass people. Not much crimes solving in ghettos. So home invasions, gunpoint robberies and even daylight shootings are common. People truly live in fear in the lower income ares because criminals own the streets. They are mostly hostages to crime or you find a "you can't beat em' join em mentality. Then there's the others who may temporarily sway but strength in family brings them back. Or those that do anything and everything in life to get out the ghetto. Its way more complicated than we would like to sum up in a paragraph. But, crime shouldn't happen anywhere.
I will leave it there because this isn't a statistics forum. Its a car forum.  |
No problem..I never get upset with my car buddies, but in my area , they come from Oakland California, through the Caldacott tunnel and target Orinda and Lafayette, which are high end communities..
Also in other areas locally , they do come from Richmond, California, and Oakland to do home robberies and Car Jackings..
True the robberies, and murders, are in Oakland, and Richmond, but property crime comes to where the property is..IMHO
It just depends on where you live.. When they introduce section 8 housing near our bordering towns, well, the crime comes with it..
And again, I never get upset with my car buddies...We are only sharing information to help each other...We are not trying to pee on each other, haha..
So no worries mate..
OP, sorry if I jacked your thread, and glad you got your car fixed..Watch out for them..sometimes once is not enough for these thieves..
