You’ll be fine. It’s pretty safe here, but don’t do anything stupid like leave your car unlocked w/ valuables in it overnight.

“It’s so bad!” Is relative- people around here have no idea about real big city crime. It can get a little methy in some spots, tho….

Chances of crime go way up north of Chestnut. It’s not just people who leave their doors unlocked either. My truck was recently broken into in my well lit driveway with the door locked. They didn’t even try the handle. Nothing was taken because I don’t leave anything in my truck after it being broken into twice before… There’s signs all over town saying beware of smash and grab theft for a reason. I also manage a retail store and I can tell you that retail theft is super high here compared to other areas I have lived and worked.

I'd say even north of Grand, really.

North of Sunshine. Phelps Grove Neighborhood gets hit fairly hard, too.

Is the town called Chestnut? Or is that a neighborhood?

It’s a road that runs east to west along the northish part of town.

They could have taken your car with the key

Glad they didn't, maybe they were too high to realize what they had, I bought a bar to secure my steering wheel as well
