Violent Crime is defined as Assault, Murder, Rape, and Robbery. Property crime is defined as Burglary, Theft, and Motor Vehicle Theft.

Personally, I cannot recall having ever been the victim of any violent or property crime (and hope never to be). Where I live in Florida, it's pretty much exurban and had for many years been rural. Even today we leave our cars parked outside without the doors locked and many of our neighbors keep their garage doors open at night - even with valuable possessions clearly visible from the street. So I live in a pretty safe area, although there have been a few armed robberies of businesses within a few miles lately.

yes, property crime.

my apartment was robbed a few years ago. my roommate and i werent home. we didnt sleep in our rooms for like a month and just slept on the couch after the robbery.

it was the first time i felt like my privacy was violated.

That's truly awful. I couldn't even imagine the feeling you guys felt after that incident; I think I'd be really paranoid, especially at night, for quite a while. But thankfully it wasn't while you were home or anything like that.

Yes to both. I have had my vehicle broken into, as well as several minor thefts. and have been a victim of AWDW, as well as two separate armed robberies.

Good Lord, where did you live to have all that happen to you?

It seems like I've been very fortunate thus far in life, considering everyone else so far has experienced some form of crime. I certainly hope my luck never runs out, especially not with a violent crime.
