ok, ive lived in america for 10 nearly 11 years including the slums of LA and ghetto chicago and not ONCE have i ever had a gun, knife or a car jacking etc. i have friends taht are crips and i still never saw a thing other then once one was arrested because they werent allowed to be in a group of more then 4 at a time.
i was also born in seaford and live my first 4 years of my life there, then after moving back from america, i moved back down south including port noarlunga and christie downs and now mclaren vale and spent MANY different times at all the locations that youve mentioned and not once have i had any problems including being parked infront of the christies cop shop and people who know my car know its nothing stealth at all
you must be pretty unlucky
