Go and live in Compton / So central and come back and tell me if that will change your mind. Leave your laptop in your car and see what happens. Now on the other hand, in a middle or upper middle class neighborhood, leave your things in the car and I bet It will b e there the next morning. Sure, bad things happens no matter where in a large city.

Funny, unlike I bet any of you here did, My Wife , My mother and I actually spent our Thanksgiving in Compton yesterday, like we have for the last 20 years or so. Same house that my mother and I stayed at in 1968 when my father went to Vietnam. Same house my sister and I used to stay at when we visited in the summer. Over the years, I've driven my Porsches, Corvettes, Teslas and Range Rovers to that neighborhood. I've parked in front of the house, down the street from the house and a block over from the house when I've gotten there late. It's funny in all these years, I've never had a thing stolen from my cars, in fact, never had a single bad experience. My dad used to visit with his 911 when he was stationed in Los Angeles same story. Would love to hear your real world experiences in Compton and not some **** you think you know....
When have I been the victim of crime. I had a motorcycle stolen when I lived in LaMirada, had a truck broken into and a radio stolen when I was in Studio City....is that middle class enough for ya....
