Crime stats are important, however when many of these crimes occur almost literally in your backyard these crimes impact the psyche of the community.

I do live near a large park, which seems to be a crime magnet – lot’s of places for those committing crimes to hide. Except of course when the police bring in the helicopters with infrared equipment (which seems to be nearly a weekly occurrence).

“be careful who you become romantically entangled with, who you buy your drugs from and which gangs you join and who you pick fights with”

Believe me, you don’t have to do any of the above to find yourself the victim of crime in this part of Temecula. Definitely don’t go out at night though by yourself.
