I’ve been living in Buffalo for probably 7 years now and had my stereo stolen once. The one time I forget to take off the faceplate. I payed for my mistake, but I’d rather be in the city and be able to walk to the park, shops, dining, etc then the boring suburbs.
And for hit and runs/bumping I 99% blame on dumbass suburbanites who are too used to their driveways and walmart parking lots trying to parallel park. If you cannot park your car on a street stay the hell out of the city.
