Guess I should live the rest of my life wholed up in my apt, shotgun in hand, waiting for the thugs to invade... no thanks. Crime happens everywhere... that doesn't mean you live a life of fear. You just have to be smart about it. For example... if someone has a gun and demands your wallet... give it to them.

I think the OP loves to sensationalize\ exaggerate crime for excitement [has that trusty band-wave radio for every police report

Not so much violent crime, but I have been hearing more and more about theft in west los angeles/brentwood/palisades/santa monica.

Generally from condo's and apartments. burglars break into storage units, cut bike locks etc. These are prybar and bolt cutter type thieves.

Suprisingly they are doing it even to video monitored bldgs.

what a shocker! there is crime in the 2nd largest city in the USA! ALL large cities have crime and are not immune. be smart, be alert, and if someone has a gun and wants your wallet...give it up.

Brentwood is definitely ghetto. At night it can be like the Bronx in the 80's, minus the covered up graffiti.

Once again, everybody on this post is talking about the area called Brentwood in the greater L.A. area.

And to Jay100 -- that Brentwood is NOT ghetto. O.J. bought his ex-wife Nicole a condo is a super-nice area.

It always amazes me how many people leave things in unlocked cars and then have the things stolen. They make it so easy for the criminals!
