Do you think police are jaded though, since you see all the really bad stuff? On thanksgiving day someone tried my door and rang the bell at 6:00 AM and then took off once I came to the door. It was some white hipster driving a prius, either a drunk college kid or looking to make a quick grab (we had a couple of newspapers on the front lawn). I called the cops and they came just to take a report. The officer was extremely nice but told me over and over that I "absolutely" needed to get an alarm system. I understand that I live in a city with a lot of crime, but we're in a relatively peaceful neighborhood and we are definitely not in the nicest house around.

I just wonder if because you see so much crime and hear about the worst of the worst you get over-sensitized to it. Who knows.
