Is it just me or is there more criminal presence in the Village. Armed robbery at Grumpy's, $1M drug bust, 2 bank robberies. What is the deal?

Don't forget the car jacking on Forest, the kids assaulted outside RBHS (looking for lunch money or something) the girl (or was it girls) assaulted also toward RBHS and the other drug bust on Forest last year (and wasn't there one on the north end of town as well?)
It seems to me there is more crime these days as well. Not just here, but everywhere. I've heard that crime goes up when the economy turns south.

No, it's not just you.
Robbery from the south of the village (elderly couple), drug dealing in the north, and these. Crime is penetrating from the periphery.
I think the bank robberies are likely down to the economy.

The Feds will tell you - their statistics show that tough times bring out all the would-be Willy Suttons. And then there is the annual bank robbery season that starts on Nov. 1st, when people start thinking they need money for Christmas.

I know some folks in town that will introduce anyone that comes on their porch to swipe stuff to Mr. Smith And Mr. Wesson. I saw allthis happen in nice towns like Mill Valley and San Rafael in Marin County. It will get more prevalent as hard times grow. I was in a Pep Boys today getting a part and a guy was busy swiping stuff, taking it to the car, and going back for more. Manny, Moe and Jack went out to stop him and he pulled a piece and drove off. (This was on Cicero Ave.) High Times in the old town.
