No worst than any other place. There does seem to be trends. The denser the area the more crime there is. Guess it is a people thing.

I think it tends to be more, you leave your phone on your seat and your doors unlocked, it ends up missing. I'm in the burbs and have even had that issue once. Just an issue with more foot traffic through the neighborhood of people outside of the the neighborhood, than anything else.

^ Agree. Crime is not "an issue" in either neighborhood, but you need to be aware and take the normal precautions as you would in any city.

I love that one. Leave your phone on the seat with an unlocked door. I have left my expedition with a full tank of gas, keys in the ignition and a note thanking whoever takes it. Thing has not moved. Maybe I will put a twenty on the seat.
