It may have seemed like an off handed comment, but it's an informed opinion.

That's a wild story. Seems like living here was just like living in Washington D.C. ghettos or something.
Every single one of your friends and family was robbed, tied up, carjacked, and even killed. Damn. I don't know how any of us survive here.
By the way, I drive a Prowler convertible, a corvette convertible, and a Jeep Wrangler convertible. During the spring, summer, and fall I keep the top down on all of them...and in the case of the Jeep I take the doors off too.
Guess I've just been lucky to never get "carjacked", though I will say that ONE time it was on the local news that there was a carjacking in town about 8 months ago.
Not saying there isn't crime here. But I go everywhere...day and night and never got carjacked. As I said earlier, I've lived in a few places, and this is without a doubt the safest place I've ever lived.
But everybody has different experiences I suppose.
EDIT: I did have a credit card go missing one night.
But someone handed it in to the bar and I got it back.
