I certainly don't think for a moment that's it's not happening. There are some bad neighborhoods and mean streets in and around NYC. Yet I haven't seen a mention of it, at least not on the news sites I've visited. The media has been very silent on this. Makes you wonder why.

Someone I work with has family up there. They told her that there are reports of people dressing in Con-Ed like uniforms with faked IDs, that are going into the residential buildings and posing as workers to gain entry, then are robbing people at gunpoint. I'll won't hold my breath to see if that's on the nightly news tonight. Those kinds of stories won't play well in our current political climate. Sends the wrong message, dontcha know?

Crime has been a very minor problem thus far.
That's because the media tells you if you need to be scared..

Key phrase: the media...
