This makes two burglaries in Fernandina in the past two weeks, with two others only a few months ago. That's four burglaries within 1/4 mile of our house in less than a year! While we know that all communities have crime, we've never lived anywhere in which crime was as high as it is here.

I have to agree with you. I think that is high, considering we never had-or, most likely-never heard of any crime the first 3 years we lived here. We lived in a BIG community before we moved here for 18 years, and I can't remember any burglaries in all that time. The worst we had was a couple of times some teen aged boys hit the mail boxes with a board, and 1 young teen shooting birds with a BB gun. Times, they are a-changing----even in TV.
