"Curiously, while crime problems are often linked to some of the nation’s older cities, like New York, Chicago or Detroit, they don’t even make the list, this time. In fact, only one East Coast neighborhood falls into the Top Ten, Charlotte, NC’s First Ward, where 103.54 of 1,000 vehicles are stolen."
Where is this First Ward? I'm learning, since I am going t be a new resident...
Uptown Charlotte, the area inside I-277, is divided into 4 quadrants separated by Tryon St. (north/south) and Trade St. (east/west). These are the 4 "wards" from historical times. Except for the turn of the 20th century homes that still exist in 4th ward, there is little resemblance to when the names had more significance.
First Ward is the section East of Tryon and North of Trade. Bobcats Arena, North Davidson St, Courtside condos are all 1st Ward. From there going counter clockwise you will find 2nd ward (42 story 1 First Union/Wachovia/Whatever tower), 3rd Ward (BofA stadium), and 4th ward. Generally the wards are bound by I-277 now, but before they built that highway, they extended out further.

Looking further at the Moderator cut: link removed, linking to competitor sites is not allowed website I'm dubious about the data when I look at the TOP 10 most exensive cities in NC.

Wouldn't something like this be indicative of a "ring" or organization specifically targeting that area? That seems like something that LE could be looking into as you can cut off the head of the beast and fall out of this list fairly quickly.
