Just because you weren't aware of it doesn't mean the crime wasn't there.
No, it was *not* there.
It was only after the city slicker commuters started moving here that we had any ‘crime’.
We really only have negligible crime now.
Pardon me for living in a heavily armed, yard dog infested Hillbilly Paradise where only complete idiots dare to pull any crap.
Don’t presume to know what my area is like.
