Not to mention all the business burglaries last week
“PunCUTuated?”
Nah…I think they meant “puncutated” lol…there is “punctated” and “punctuated” in the dictionary though.
So sad the downhill course that area has taken. Used to love it there in 1976 until 1998. No more
Pucutuated?
Mary Gregory completely agree , its disgusting how greedy this town got by building all these apartments making this town over crowded and low income houses bringing theft, burglary , drugs , and murders .
Just saddens me as I truly loved that area and raised my boys there and now it’s a scary place.
Interesting how people usually remember things as being better in the past (like the good ole days that never really existed). Violent crime rate for Canyon Country in 1999 was 190 incidents per 100,000 residents. In 2012 it was 120 incidents per 100,000 residents. So do you remember wrong or is the FBI getting worse at tracking crime statistics?
Wow some comments are pretty thoughtless. People who live in apartments or have lower incomes cause crime? I know many people who live in apartments and have low income who are law abiding and good people. I also know many wealthy people who are horrible and will rob everyone blind. Just something to think about.
Puncutated?
