Most burglaries & thefts to autos happen downtown where the best autos/parts are to be found or because we believe we are safe if we leave our valuables and GPS devices on the front seat or dashboard. While the robberies and other violent crime do in fact occur in Lafayette the point is that they are moving into our downtown area. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that there is more money to be had downtown than in the hood with the possible exception of robbing the drug dealers which could result in a serious case of lead poisoning. As the bad guys do a risk/reward assessment they will and have already begun to realize and redirect their activities to areas (i.e. downtown) where they can maximize their profits while taking the least risk. One need only read the local papers to see the trend toward conducting their activities downtown. Look at homicide 7th/Coles, Lite Rail area Robberies, Shooting at Newport Mall and in todays paper a robbery of an apartment resident at Second and Coles. Have a pleasant day.Quote:

If that were the case, that would mean there are more robberies in places like Paulus Hook than places like Bergen Lafayette. I don't think so. The robberies in places like Paulus Hook are less frequent but more newsworthy (it appears).

Ice chute is right. The bad guys are going to where the money is not to rob in their own neighborhood unless the opportunity presents itself in their neighborhood. Otherwise the money and big scores for them are Downtown!Quote:

I've seen them checking tickets three times this month alone. Considering I used to see them maybe once every three weeks, thats a big jump. I'll also point out that I use the Light Rail on average six times a week or so. So we're talking 3 in 10 vs 1 in 18.

Yup. If we had a normal proactive police force they would be shaking down people on the Light Rail who are evading the fare, just like the cops did under Ray Kelly in NYC. They cut crime drastically and confiscated a lot of weapons just by arresting turnstile jumpers.
But then that was Ray Kelly in NYC.

It's because this is the "good part" that this stuff is happening. The thugs know this is where the "good stuff" is and that the owner's of the "good stuff" aren't going to out up much resistance.
And the light rail has become a crime pipeline.

The "good" parts of town? Crime doesn't discriminate. None of us are immune to it no matter where we live...

This is terrible. It's not even that late at night. Seemed that more and more of this is happening in the "good" parts of town.

Midnight at Hudson & Essex a young man from NYC was held up at gunpoint by two thugs who took his stuff and ran along the light rail tracks to getaway.

I came home from work today and found a note under my door from the property manager from where we lease (Windsor Liberty on Dudley Street) stating that yesterday at 11.30pm a man was held up at gun point in 'our area' and the police are looking for any info as they haven't got the person who did it yet! I was wondering if anyone knew where exactly this happened? Thanks...I'm a bit worried...
