For my part it’s a perception of an increase, but there are definitely things happening that haven’t been happening historically. For instance, this week there were five local businesses hit overnight in the River Market area. That kind of brazen criminal activity is unusual.
I can confirm that the Betty Rae’s Ice Cream shop has never been broken into twice in a six-month period, though, and that’s what got me frustrated.
Is there an actual increase or a perception that there is an increase?
One anecdote doesn’t mean there is a widespread increase.
That’s a good point.
