You’re lucky, I much prefer the 4-legged thieves over the 2-legged gangbangers and various assorted other criminals in urban areas :)
But then I live in Mississippi and no one ever notices that we exist, and I like it that way:) I wouldn’t live anywhere else after all these years, except in an undiscovered mountain “holler” in Appalachia, if I had to move. The kind of place that might have a snake-handling church hidden away (but I’d have to skip those services, I hate snakes!)
