seashell - sorry to post here, belongs in Chat but have lived in same neighborhood in NJ since 1974. Have never locked house, or cars, still don't.kids growing up left bikes, etc on curbs by street for years, never experienced a theft or heard of even one in this area. Maybe unusual but their are safe places (I know, safe till something happens, fortunately has not) Police blotters in area just lists of DUI's not much else.
