Perhaps it is only because I am paying more attention to local news, but is crime on the rise in Saline County?
I live in a neighborhood where, in the past, I could leave my car unloacked at night, leave tools sitting out in the carport, take naps in the backyard, etc... Of course I do have a big old guard dog and a little bitty alert dog, but still. I just don't feel comfortable doing that anymore if I know that I am not going to be home for a while. Is it just my imagination or is there just more meanness around lately???

I don't know the statistics but I would guess that crime in general is up everywhere. Unemployment the last few years hasn't helped. And a meth addict will pick up anything that is available.
I've posted two links below that give you some more insight into crime stats in the city of Benton. Hope they help out.
