Parking at our apartments can be awful, and we used to have to park at a nearby business park. Our truck was broken into one time.

Early this year there was a couple of anti-LGBT bomb threats directed towards the local Target

Various car accidents. There was one where a car hit a concrete lamppost and bent it slightly. If the lamppost was not there, the car would have gone though our fence and probably hit one of our cars parked in the yard.

Well my old house across the street at the apartments had shooting all the time and a few fire around to.

Quite a few neighbors had been shot over the years when we lived at our old house.

Hm... I'm not sure exactly how close it is, but I'm pretty sure it was somewhere in the walking distance area that some number of years ago two homeschooled guys (or maybe just one of them, can't remember) murdered their entire family.

A few years ago, a racially motivated hit-and-run happened a few streets away from my house.

I live in Anaheim, CA, so yeah…I couldn’t begin to describe all the bad things that happen nearby, whether I end up hearing about it or not. They may have done a decent job of cleaning up the area for the tourist trade a few years back, but they can’t reach every dark corner and unfortunately, we have a lot of dark corners.
