Crime rate puts it as the 13 highest in the country when compared to similar sized cities. Personally one of the jobs my company is doing just got robbed for the 3rd time in 2 months. Kind of getting sick of loosing thousands in material and tools every 3 weeks. We also tell our employees to empty their car of everything. When we did the first part of this project we had a 100% rate of guys cars getting broken in to, every single persons car was broken in to. And that's with nothing visible, like an empty car getting broken in to. We eventually figured out if the car had none DC tags it got broken in to even if empty.
