Do you feel safe where you live?

I live in what most people would call your average middle class neighborhood. In the past four months my car has broken into three times right in front of my drive way during the middle of the night, and my next door neighbor had her RV basically ransacked. One of the break ins into my car was actually in broad daylight and I walked out as the guy was crouched on the side of my car. I basically yelled at the dude and chased him off before the police found him in somebody's backyard. Point being, I have been seeing sketchy things happen in my neighborhood for year now and people always say "Wow, wouldn't expect that in your neighborhood!". I really don't feel safe living where I live. I get tense for a second or two everytime I hear my house creak during the middle of the night, yet I live in what most people would consider to be a decent neighborhood. Do you feel safe where you life? And if not, what experience caused you to feel unsafe?

Lived in my current neighborhood for a couple of years, only had something stolen once. For the most part I feel safe.

I live in Minnesota, other than crappy weather and bridge collapses nothing really happens here all that much.

We've got a pretty great community, while yeah small things do happen and they do everywhere, I feel very safe here.

Although there are some slightly less than savoury residential spots around the area, yeah, it's pretty safe where I am. I could leave every door unlocked at night if I really wanted to. It's really just mostly families, and the occasional older person living here. And from my own observations, everyone just goes about their business.

You seem safe enough, however if I was your car I would feel quite violated.

Yes.

My city is quite safe. The foreign immigrants here do cause some crimes but overall its much more safer than so many other places.

We also had a bunch of armed robberies and crimes caused by international criminal groups but those occur very rarely.

no, too many illegal indonesians and filippinos(the muslim insurgent kinds) here. But at least it is better than my lost home, where there were tons of indian gangsters. Lonelynight

where do u live?

where do u live?

For the most part, yes. I just need to avoid dark alleys at night.

Not really if I'm honest. It's not the worst area to live in but it can be quite dodgey sometimes

Yes but I wouldn't walk in the streets alone at night.

Yep, pretty safe. There are some bad areas in my city, but living across from Detroit gives you persepective on what a "bad neighborhood" is

I don' t remember sth bad ever happening in my neighborhood so I could say I feel pretty safe.

I live in a sleepy hamlet with mostly farmers and Amish around. There's few roads leading into and out of my neighborhood. People here tend to notice things out of the ordinary, especially strangers and cars not from here. So, yeah. I feel quite safe.

I feel the safest when I am in Tokyo.

The lights are always on, there are many people on the street and you would never get mugged and very rarely have break ins.

The only thing that makes me feel not safe are natural disasters.

that sounds kinda racist

Yeah.

Considering I'm about the last person most people would think to rob or mug or anything, I feel safe anywhere.

yep. we got a pretty good community here in this small town

hell i leave my car running while i go into the local gas station shop to buy drinks and such.

Yes.  This is a good neighborhood, and I live in a safe country and city.

Thankfully I live in one of the safest towns in America.

Then your job must be pretty boring.Lonelynight

Not really.

[QUOTE="Lonelynight"]Then your job must be pretty boring.airshocker

Not really.

then what do you do most of the time, since there aren't a lot of crimes going onLonelynight

I never said there wasn't a lot of crime. There isn't a lot of violent crime, but there's still plenty to do. I'm rarely ever bored at work.
