same here Fireman-hott I kive in a small town not even a town really, my zipcode has changed twice and it's still not for this place.. We have a voleenteer fire department and that's about it..
We moved here in about 89 if I member right, our street was the only in the neighborhood about a mile long with corn fields on each side. Nice and peaceful (well most of the time), but no crime. Never bothered locking up the house or nothing ...
Now there are trailers behind our property, not your everday trailer parks they do have 2 acre lots, not like the 0 lot normally associated with "trailer parks". Now there is crime. No murder to my knowledge yet.
Most of the crime I can image is from teenagers not having nothing better to do, this is where parents come in, society has gotten lazy bringing up their kiddo's.
My neighbor had his work tools stolen out of his truck like 3 or 4 times, a house was broken into and other stuff. Finally the lil fucker messed up and went on the stealing spree one night after a small rain, the sheriffs followed his foot prints to his house. He had some stuff in his pocession, but for some reason they didn't have enough evidence. .
Even happened on Xmas Eve one year, the crazy Am Indian down the street caught him prowling around his house one night and chased him off with shotgun.
I still ain't pulling the racial card out yet... black, white, red, yellow, blue whatever color..
it's the parents fault for the most part.
and over population..
Anyhow....
keep the kids occuppied with better things!
