How much of a problem is kidnapping in Phoenix? There is so much national coverage on kidnapping in Arizona these days. I read an old thread about this, but has it gotten worse?

What kidnapping? I never hear anything about it, that's because it doesn't happen much. Stay away from border towns I guess?

Turn on CNN...that's 40% of what they talk about.

Unless you are an illegal being smuggled into the US, then kidnapping will be as far removed from your experiences here as shoveling snow.

Here's how the statistics get run up. Sheriff Joe busts a drop house where Mexicans who have been smuggled in to the country are being forced to call relatives and friends to pay ransom to set them free. Every alien who is in the house when the bust goes down results in a "kidnapping" charge against the coyote (smugglers). It's pretty easy to run up 15, 20 or more kidnapping statistics for each drop house bust. It is kidnapping in that people are being held against their will for ransom, but it is not the same as you are probably thinking.

AN old thread? How old a week? Stop believing everything you see on tv. IF you are not an illegal getting shaked down for more money you have nothing to worry about.

Why do some people have to be so snooty? It was simply a question.

Thank you Ponderosa for a thorough response.

You posted in a public forum, there is no need to ask.

You should stop being a sheep and stop believing everything the media tells you.

Well I see that the two of you like to be forum bullies. Good luck with that! Yes it's public...and if you don't want to take part in the discussion...you don't have to post...BTW public also means I'm allowed to ask what I want...how does that make me a sheep...because I watch CNN and was curious? Get a life.
