Let's do something different. Have you ever been a victim of a crime and in what city? Have you lived in a city where you haven't experienced any crime at all?
Yes, the city where I experienced crime out of the ones where I live have been Katy, Texas on several occasions. I have not experienced crime anywhere else.
When I lived in the Northern Part of Katy, An I-phone was stolen in front of our front door (It was ordered in the mail) and several other mail were stolen, My bike was stolen, My mom's car was broken into and the worst was when we were moving to South Katy, my mom walked in on a guy trying to steal our fridge and stove (Almost everything else in the house was gone at the time).
Since I didn't pay for any of the things stolen actually technically a crime has never happened to me, but to my parents and while I was present.
Also this wasn't really commited against me but someone set fire to my school's bathroom back in elementary when I still lived in North Katy.
Shreveport, LA:
Had my door kicked in by a drunk - he ran back out of the door once he realized it wasn't his house.
Was assaulted by a guy at a gas station because of road rage.
Had my car broken into and a laptop and GPS stolen.
New Orleans, LA:
Domestic violence - roommate threw a coffee mug at me, also threatened to kill me.
Had the back window smashed out of my car. Probably not the same person.
Was assaulted by a woman in the street because I wanted her to leave my property.
And for what it's worth: I've had a couple friends that were murdered, both in Shreveport. I'm not the victim, but if you lose somebody to violence it feels like you're a victim.
A couple of car break-ins. I met a contractor at my rental condo at about daybreak on the way to work. I left my car for about 15 minutes; came back to find my window smashed and my laptop missing from behind the front seat. Four other cars in the vicinity had been hit as well.
My house was broken into about 1999. Some cash and jewelry was taken, as well as some beer (!). The veteran cop that was investigating it said that he surmised two things: that whoever broke in 1) knew me, 2) was looking for something specific. He said that even though every drawer was opened and closet riffled through, very little was actually taken. That haunted me for years.
All of this took place in the Atlanta area.
Yeah I've been mugged twice, had my bike stolen, and have been felt up without permission one time, all within a few years or so. I like to walk around at night, which has its risks.
Oh where to start lol......ill just list a few 1997-2006
Had my car broken into, tried to steal it
had my apartment broken into
had my truck broken into
had my windshield busted
tires slashed along with a few neighbors
Had a gun pulled on me once
I've done a few dumb things myself, not gonna list those
And while I wasn't a victim, there was a drive by in front of my house when they were shooting at the car that was driving by
I saw an armed robbery take place
My uncle is in jail for murder
A cousin in prison for trafficking drugs
ONE night the cops were looking for somebody and they took over a few blocks of the neighborhood armed with assault rifles and full swat gear with the helicopter up above shining the light on me when I was in my front yard lol
I've lived in Texas for the past 5 years and have had no issues or even seen anything sketchy
