Not all sex is consenting, often the rapist of children will rent a room.

If you put one of those little plastic flags used at auto dealerships in front of the house of every registered sex offender in the area, you would swear a real estate developer had just opened a new tract of homes for sale.

My wife dispatched an officer with a warrant for a sex offender that had moved into a house adjacent to an elementary school. The officer knocked on the door and heard a muffled gunshot from basement. Upon entry to the premises, they found a back bedroom window with a clear view of the playground, binoculars and child porn on the walls. The person named in the warrant was dead of a self-inflicted gunshow wound.

The town is full of crummy old trailers that get turned into meth labs. Most are uninhabitable from the toxic chemicals left behind...if they don't explode first. The fire department uses them for "practice" fires, then the city clears the lot. The property owner is often left with a toxic chemical clean up responsibility before the property can be sold. It pays to screen your tenants.

For all that bad news, our town crime rates are VERY low compared to most cities. Violent crime is 44% of the national average. My old neighborhood in Mira Mesa, CA was 118% of national average. My parents home in Chula Vista, CA was rated 160%. Most of our criminal activity is property crime committed to finance drug habits.

First of all, ask your wife to thank the Officer for whatever part he played in ending that case.

About 7 years ago the meth lab busts got so bad in my valley, that I asked the snob at planning and zoning what zoning was needed for setting up a meth lab.

Guess I had better not need a zoning change in this lifetime, she didn't think I was funny.

We have both the gambling at Laughlin and the dopers, couple of years ago, 2 young men, borrowed the Granma's old farm pickup, robbed our little bank, and then made the get away in the still running pickup, that was parked across the street.

The Officer, simply went to the home and arrested them.

The crime is growing, but I am sure that it is not nearly as bad as in a city.

Please explain... I'm a little slow, sorry. What is a good rating? Since those 2 numbers are over 100% I'm assuming that is very very bad? I'm worried now because there is a high probability we are moving to S.D. this fall for hubby's work!
