That happened within a mile of my house. I was shocked but one has t remember this was a rare incident fueled by the fact that the daughter lived with her parents, I think I read was involved with drugs and the wrong kind of people. It was a couple of acquaintances of hers and I still feel she was involved in some way. Still scary stuff. But I have lived in a great neighborhood going on 8 years now. I have neighbors that care about each other and keep an eye out. A couple are retired police. None of us have alarms or feel the need for any and you are talking to a former Chicago gal
The only thing that bothers me these days is the foreclosed house behind me that has been vacant for well over a year. Stay alert and keep your doors locked. Oh I do have 2 dogs one of which shall we say does NOT like strangers
Just my opinion. While no place is entirely safe you have to do what you feel comfortable with and btw I was once a victim of a violent crime in my own home. When we first moved here I lived in our house by myself and one dog at the time for 8 months while hubby finished work up north. Not once did I not feel safe.
Ok this comment should have followed the one on the murder that took place in TV!
