So, I'm sitting here at my computer looking for jobs and networking with people and all of a sudden, I hear gun shots. There were about six shots fired and then you could hear a car pull off quickly. Weird!
I have been noticing that there has been more car break ins on the street outside my condo complex. In the morning when I walk my pug, Samantha, I notice 3-4 sets of safety glass bunches by the soccer fields. I do not know when these crimes happen, but they must be becoming more often due to the fact that we have a street cleaner and every week I see glass. In fact a few months ago, someone broke into a car and stole the alternator- now that is cruel!
I know that I live in an up-in-coming area of East Atlanta, so there is always the chance of crime, but I have never felt unsafe here. Now do not get me wrong, I am not going to take a long walk by myself after dark, but I feel safe to walk with my dog during the day.
It has just seemed to me that the stress the economy is putting on people is making some of the weaker people take drastic measures to make their ends meet.
I hope that the ones that break into homes, do drive-bys, or break into your cars realize that you are hurting the person you are robbing more in today's society and there are other ways of getting money or material possessions.
To the people who read this';please stay safe and remember that not everyone has your best interest in mind, but if you stay positive you will be in a much better place then they are.
