[quote=Anonymous]I'm reading these stories in this thread.....and nothing here strikes me as DC-specific. Friends in Manhattan, Brooklyn, LA, Chicago, Miami, etc. all have the same stories at about the same frequency. When I lived in NYC, I had three bikes stolen and a lot more package theft than anything I've experienced here in DC. In LA and Miami, there were A LOT more random fights/assaults with strangers if someone thought you looked at them funny in a bar or the 7/11. This seems to be an American problem of urbanization where you just have a lot more interaction with strangers in public, relative to the family-focused suburbs or isolated rural locales where you rarely interact with people outside your household. I will say that all the violent incidents that happened in my social circles in DC happened in the 2009-2012 time frame, when I was a lot younger and we were going out more frequently at night.
