I am right with you brother, I never feel that way where I live.
I came home from a weekend away and realized I left the house unlocked and a side garage door open all weekend. Not a problem.
I have lived in this town 20+ years now, it is still huge news here if someone gets killed and the entire town will be talking about it for days. 2 years ago a guy got hit by a car riding a bicycle. It was the talk of the town for a week.
I cannot recall the last time there was a murder here. I do not think there even has been one, or a shooting for that matter. One town away there was some idiot in a Black BMW that did a drive by shooting on a house. Police were swarming everywhere, my son drove a black E30 at the time. He was pulled over and much excitement ensued when they found a box of 12 ga. in the truck he forgot to take out after going to the range.
When I travel to strange places (Like NYC) I am more on my toes mostly because I grew up in a place like that.
I am happy to have raised my kids in a place with virtually no crime at all.
