How is crime in your town/area?

freshpopcorn

I live in a small enough town and nobody has ever being murdered. A few years ago ago my brother used live in a housing estate in a suburb and a man was shot dead. It used be a nice enough estate but ever since it's gone hill. He doesn't live there any more.
A few years ago in my town a women said she was raped/assaulted on the way home. However it was proven it was false claim.
There have being a few incidents of guys having fights but there has never being anybody seriously injured in these incidents.
There has being a few guys caught with small enough amounts of cocaine and cannabis for sale or supply or personal use.
There's being a good few burglaries over the years. Schools seem to get targeted a good bit. The were a few bank robberies back in the 1990's.
I feel very safe on my area and it's a safe area to raise a family.

Crime is grand, it keeps me on the streets and a few quid in my pocket.

Grand for now, I will step it up in the run up to Christmas.

My area has had it bad the last 3 years ever since they took our Garda station away.

It's a tiny village in between two other slightly larger villages yet the crime rate is incredible.

Regeneration also affected the area with some not so nice families forced into the area.

There are a few car robberies in the town every so often, but I don't really consider them robberies because it happened to those people that simply abandon their running car in the middle of the road to go into the shop. They deserve to have their car stolen, I've been tempted to steal their cars just to teach them a lesson.

Is it a crime to be devastatingly handsome? If so I'd say levels are pretty rampant in my immediate vicinity *
















* Sorry but you just knew someone was going to make a crap joke along those lines. Might as well be me! :P

Crime is bad where I live. When I was younger, burned out cars were somewhat regular. I know of more than 10 women raped in the last 5 ish years in the area, regularly enough see syringes around, fights are common, drugs are very common, house at the end of the road was pipebombed a few years ago.

But I'm safe here. I don't use drugs, avoid most people in my area, keep to myself and I've never had trouble here personally.

It was always a wild town were I live,it seems to produce headcases,the massive drug problem doesn't help...

The Backwards Man

You know those egg boxes at the side of the road where people just leave money for the eggs?

Somebody took a duck egg and left the money for a hen egg in one down the road for me about five or six years ago.

There used to be a guy living in my town and his knickname was 'Crime'. He's dead now, so he can't complain really

What with this thread, and the crime call one started last night, I'm wondering if the OP is an apprentice crim, carrying out some work experience research?

It's very crimey. Very very crimey.

Very little crime in my neck of the woods. I was warned, by a neighbour, that a man working locally was "just out of the Joy". He wandered over & admired my tools. He even suggested that I "take care of them". I pointed out that we didn't worry about that sort of thing & he looked puzzled.

I asked if he had been away. He replied "yes in America" :pac:
I explained that he had obviously not heard about what had happened when we caught a thief. Another puzzled look. "Did you call the Guards" says he. Nah we just tied him up & took him on a midnight trip in the Bay. The colour literally drained from his face.

suicide_circus

Regular armed checkpoints on my street.

And various kinds of scrounger, neer-do-well and urchin running amok all around.

Fairly bad.


Ish.

A pipe bomb went off a few doors down from us a few years ago.
Someone in our estate got done for false imprisonment of a guard. His brother got done for assault of a guard on the towns main street.
A load of petty stuff in the town but I don't remember the last murder

Hurtbuthealing

Same as everywhere else , very little real crime and an over hyped fear of crime amongst the undereducated classes who depend on the the star and the sunday world for their facts.

The Feckers stole the crime stats in our area. Joke of a situation. On the other hand crime stats now stand at one on the new list.

Magnificent. Only the best of crimes for us.

Actually yes, sorry now that you mention it, they did find a body in the canal about 10 years ago

And 3 months ago! Probably about 2 a year...

Fairly bad considering I live in a village. My neighbor threw his girlfriend out the window the other day. A lot of drug dealers from Dublin are living in the area now and there's all sorts going on.
