This looks like a very good neighborhood....
The problems are a tad worrisome, however: an epidemic of car break-ins, and much more importantly, residents are afraid to go outside at night.
Man!
This is Fenton, MO, 20 miles from the Gateway to the West. But folks are breaking in all over the county.
The perps, the ill behaved twits that they are, are mobile.
Crime is up hundreds of percentage points over last year.
Of all the gaul--breaking in under bright lights, in full view of the Ring Doorbell.
The police say "go ahead and take notes", and do take the time to call 911.
In the City of St. Louis, the police do not respond to reports of auto theft.
The good news is, car theft is down--they can't take the car without the smart key.
The bad news is that they can't take the car without the smart key.
In point of fact, having one's car broken into is a rather minor aggravation, compared to car-jacking, which can lead to one's last automobile ride.
And car jacking is busting out all over.
What to do? Lock your cars and doors; don't walk outside at night; be alert for carjackers; and have a plan for dealing with car jackers if necessary.
Oh, and do get a Ring Doorbell.
Walking the dog at night? Well, two great big ones....
