My neighborhood, Hampton Glen, is on the southern side of Jacksonville. It's a nice neighborhood. Not quite "upscale" but it's pretty close. It's always been a very nice place to live- very friendly, good people, neighbors giving fudge, etc.
Anyways, over the last month, there have been 4 armed robberies in the neighborhood. While people have been out workin in the lawn or something, people go into their house. When the people go inside to see what the hell they're doing in there, the robbers pull a knife or gun or something until they have gotten everything they want, and run.
In the last week, 4 cars have been broken into, and all the valuables stolen out of them.
My mom has gone apeshit. She's paranoid about everything. She's even taped up paper on our windows that say "Don't bother... motion sensors inside, every window and door wired." (which is bullshit) Every time someone goes outside, even if its to get the mail or something, she'll start bitching if the door doesn't get locked. While I've been in the garage workin on the box, she locks the door that does into the garage.
I've also started parkin the van in the garage //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/sneaky.gif.7189749b3a3f769e8815b47e8ae87f88.gif
