I’m not good at crime nomenclature. To me, while auto break-ins are awful for the owner and can be associated with worse crime, they invoke a lower level of concern and a different response than do armed robberies like those that occurred in July and at the high school post-game. Armed robberies change how, when, and where my children may walk (with permission). Car break-ins don’t change our patterns as much, other than making sure the cars are piled in our driveway instead of on the street.

As the number looks to be trending up, we the community need to ramp up awareness again. Thank you also to everyone who has called in suspicious activity.
On an absolute #s basis though, this isn’t as high as I thought the burglaries had/have been. I’d be curious to see a comparison to say Virginia Highland/Morningside. My guess is the Decatur per household #s are less.
