Mine is similar. We haven’t had a murder in 15 or more years, and I often don’t bother to lock my car. There are almost 50,000 people here too, but it is a wealthy community, 30 miles outside Los Angeles. We do get a few burglaries, but not many. Too far to drive? Also, 2000 LAPD live in the next town...: )
In California? Wow. Our last neighborhood in CA we had Kevlar vests to garden in our front yard. They even broke in through our iron bars when they robbed us right before we moved out of state.
You couldn’t pay me to live in CA again. God be with you.
